First of all, thank you so much for the very kind words!
I think I know exactly what shadow monster you're referring to (that thing wasn't even meant to be there LOL)
We plan on releasing an update immediately after the voting hours are finished and it should fix these issues, including making the control scheme more familiar!
Thank you so much for taking some of your time to play our game though, it really means a lot to us. I hope you give it a 2nd visit after the update rolls out!
