Thank you. Either you forgot to put that in the explanation or I missed it. I personally found swapping between Space and mouse click a bit complicated, especially since I'm using a touchpad instead of a mouse, but I see why you needed a mouse click with having to throw sticks at bats.
"Throw sticks at the bats." actually shows up in the tutorial text after "Bats will damage your campfire." but it's possible to miss if it's outside your view.
Yeah, I can see that some tweaks could be made to the controls. Maybe left click will suffice for both the throwing and picking up.
