Testing on windows

I know the game is for mobile, just giving a try on web, desktop and mouse is really hard to make any moves but that would be understandable. since it's not the primary focus.  The pixelArt is amazing and the menu system and hud looks clean, really looking forward to your progress. 
I will try to test on my phone when i get some more time.

Hey thanks for checking it out! By the way there are keyboard commands, which is how I develop the game. You'll have to focus the game window first for them to work on Itch, I have instructions right below the game!

Try out the keyboard controls, it'll feel great on desktop. Arrow keys and S/D/F.

It was not really clear where this keys where in the tutorial, i saw text saying Joystick but nothing about a keyboard i assumed it was not keyboard compatible.  Screenshot 

Tried once more but i cant get it to move with the keyboard.

The keyboard instructions are not in the game, but rather on the Itch page just below the game window.

Here's the entirety of the text related to keyboard controls:

Keyboard Controls
I am investigating an issue with keyboard controls. At this time, due to browser security constraints, you must use the tab key to focus-cycle the game in order to enable keyboard controls.
I recommend just holding tab for a second to get through everything on the page. Once enabled, you may use the arrow keys for movement and the S/D/F keys to block, light attack, and heavy attack.

Just wanted to follow up after a little more investigation into the issue. I have added a kluge to work around the focus issue on web. If you click on the game once, it should enable keyboard controls. Let me know if it works now!

Without seen the code i would say that the touch screen system might be overlapping the keyboard controls?

Thanks for trying again. I'll see what I can do. By the way, feel free to join the Discord (link on the Itch page)! I would love to get to the bottom of this but it seems like you have a very different setup than me.
