I think ESDF actually might be the more classic control scheme from the early FPS era. I'm not sure which came first but they both seem to have been common around that time, especially after the release of Quake. According to this quote attributed to someone named Jon A., the rise in popularity of WASD was somewhat arbitrary:

"Quake did not default to WASD. The default controls in quake were actually the arrow keys. The Quake community started using ESDF and WASD (as did Doom before Quake). However, the big push toward WASD happened when Thresh (Dennis Fong) won John Carmack's Ferrari in the first big Quake tournament. After that people started sending his Quake cfg file around and using his settings in hopes of being as good as him. He used WASD and the rest is history."

I don't have anything to say about this game we're commenting underneath in particular (and nothing against WASD as a choice), this just caught my interest. My dad is a Gen X gamer who loved Quake and Unreal and he always uses ESDF for movement so I had a feeling it was an older thing.

I think the death fix introduced a new bug where high score isn't being saved after a run. It always says 0 for me now

Cool game, really neat idea executed well. I'm interested to see the Steam version when it comes out. My only question is: what's the penalty for the soft game over? Is there a reason I shouldn't just ignore heat and keep pressing restart to farm credits before I continue to the next grid level?

Anyone playing this game for the first time: DO NOT BUY THE ORE TRAIL REINCARNATION UPGRADE

Unless there's been an update since this comment that has addressed the problem. As it stands now during late game I'm crashing on 80% of runs or more, almost always caused by an error attributed to ore trails. And since you can't un-purchase these upgrades (AFAIK), it essentially corrupts your save file.

Great game otherwise though. At first I thought it was a little ridiculous that burger customers who ordered a "bacon-chicken" burger wouldn't accept a "chicken-bacon" burger. But then I realized that's precisely why I can charge $800 for a piece of bacon on a plain bun and wait an entire day to even start making it. My customers are willing to pay a premium for utter perfection in the end product.

Then I made someone a burger with 6 pieces of both burnt and raw meat atop their requested ingredients all garnished with a skyscraper of condiments alternating ketchup-mustard-bbq-mustard, closely resembling the red-yellow-black-yellow banding pattern of the highly venomous eastern coral snake. A "burger" so vile as to be imperceptible by the reasoning parts of the brain, forcing out a limbic scream of "DO NOT EAT" that echoes viscerally through the sympathetic nervous system.

Yet not only did the customer accept this nasty patty, they paid in full and left without complaint. This made me rethink the nature of my business entirely. Had I become too big to fail? Was I so popular a brand that not consuming my burgers was unthinkable? Or was I even selling food at all anymore? Maybe my sandwiches were so sublime, so picture-perfect each and every time that they sold themselves on aesthetic quality alone. Maybe we're not a restaurant anymore, but something akin to a fine art gallery patronized by wealthy benefactors looking to discover the next Burgnini or Salvador Deli.

With this revelation, I understand now that I have the power to control trends in the upper echelon of the art world with the flip of a patty. Who knows what sort of surreal sandwiches are being prepared right now as a result of my execrable experiment? If only I could witness them and perhaps be given the opportunity to pulverize them where they stand with biting counter-burgers, or nurture them and foster a collaborative environment of forward-thinking burger-based artistry to propel humanity to new heights. The future is fried.

TL;DR: Suggestion -- let us see and influence the work of our fry cook contemporaries.

I beat Irvin first try lmao take that nerd

I tested this a little. There doesn't appear to be any extra bonus for bordering more than one of a matched number. Matching just one of the the 3 surrounding dice gives the same multiplier as matching all three.

So the points you get for rolling the dice in either setup are:

This makes your setup where each rolled die is surrounded by 4, 5, and 6 much better than all 6s.
