thanks for playing! your point about keyboard and mouse controls is something i had not considered. the main issue imo is that the mouse controls more or less mandate capturing the mouse (which is a little annoying), and so i added the keyboard option as an explicit toggle so the mouse could be uncaptured.
but, this is less important now that the web version isn't even available, as mouse capture is much less annoying on desktop.
and thanks for your final comment! i consider this game to be perhaps the most artistically honest thing i have ever created. i love the freedom that this jam gives to just... be sincere. and i'm extremely glad it comes through in the game!
