Thanks blakeb1! And yes, that is very useful feedback. Making the movement feel better in the main loop would definitely be something we'll hone in on next time.
Woah, thanks so much for all the kind words! Yes, adding controls to the arrow keys in addition to WASD was something that we more-or-less overlooked. We'll definitely take that into account next time. Would love to continue the project and implement more minigames sometime as well.
