Controls and Gameplay

[hethegreat]

Just thought it would be nice for us Dvorak/left handed/inverted users to have a good control layout, any plans to make them customizable?

I think it would be pretty neat if classic controls were playable, but right now without the mouse it isn't bearable IMO.

First thought when watching the video, I played this way back in the day...

Really? I was able to play through game with the classic controls. But there does need to be a little auto aiming vertically in that mode.

The developer, me, is also left handed by the by

Not saying I won't do any of this, thanks for the suggestions.

I'm technically only left handed when playing a 3D game. I was very lucky that Oni had set up the controls for both asdw and the otherside (that was before I used Dvorak).

When playing classic mode, in 2D I could really only shoot up and left/right. Which I think was normal in Master Blaster, but in that one you could see the enemy on the screen when trying to blast them (and when they attacked).

When playing classic mode, in 3D I missed the ability to rotate the view since I was using arrow keys, so being able to adjust controls for that will also be good.

One thing that may help for 2D is to not center on player, in the old games there was usually only a single block for the ground allowing to see more of what is above you.

Really fun game, but I will have to throw my hat in with the "need re-mappable controls" crowd. I greatly prefer using ESDF over WASD for all my games. Otherwise, I have to revert to using Auto-Hotkey again....

Thanks for the awesome game.
