Well now..
I love this oldskool greatness, but I have to admit I only played a part of the game simply because the mouse movement frustrated the hell out of me. While loving the concept, graphics, music, gameplay - the simple selection of mouse controlled movement and aim while having to attack at the same time made the thing annoying to control. After dying for the umpteenth time I was simply fed up with the control scheme which in my book, is a damn shame. Especially things everything else was so damn great. And for the grand question: Why oh why could you not implement keyboard movement?
Kudos for translating the thing, it was definitely a worthwhile project.
So thanks for the game and good luck in the future!
