    WASD Support

    While I enjoy the game, I have one suggestion: add WASD support, for two anecdotal reasons:

    1) Many people, including me, are more used to playing with WASD than the key arrows

    2) I use a laptop, and the arrow keys are smaller than the letter keys. Given this and the fact that I use two hands, my fingers sometimes get...twisted up.

    What would be great would be to use WASD with one hand and the arrow keys with another.

    mmmm wouldn't that require one to play left handed though? especially on a laptop....in order to play right handed I'd have to turn the screen to the side, which would make it hard to see the screen.

    Hey, you should feel sorry with older versions of the M$ wave keyboard.....my roomate has one and the arrows are really messed up. They're REALLY small, and they're not the normal 2 rows.....it's got 3 rows for the arrows....

    ...../\

    .....\/

    instead of
    ...../\
    ..< \/ >

    he HAS to play with 2 hands with that setup, heh.

    Although, I don't completely disagree with being able to remap the keys. It would kind of mess up the level playing field that's there right now, though. I like knowing that everyone is using the same arrows as I am.

      Yeah, I'd imagine that wouldn't be too hard to set up.

      You know, even in this setup, there's a nice hidden easter egg: you can click on the arrows. Don't see much of a practical purpose in that, but I noticed it anyway

        WASD wouldn't work on my comp, because the W is slightly off-center, more between the A and S. Looks like this:

        ../\..
        .<.\/>
