Title: Feature to control with a mouse...
Post by: Alley on November 25, 2019, 01:58:49 PM
Having a feature to fire toward the cursor is a very nice one but it would be nice to have an ability to also set attack or any other happen with mouse left, right and middle and perhaps middle roll up and down also. This would also simplify controlling the character because you would be able to move with one hand using a keyboard and using a mouse with the other hand for all attack stuff like in Doom. For now, it is still a bit complicated to set your controls to be comfortable in intense gameplay so you would not fail to do one or another thing because of failing to find a certain key quickly. ::)

I am talking about a feature to set mouse controls in the Settings menu. For now, if you click it shows a message about how to change keys.

I think there's a reason why other 2D platformers are played with mostly keyboard and not half-keyboard, half-mouse.
but I could be wrong, maybe this could be a good addition.   :)

I don't compete with you with this. :P  Although it may feel somehow honored somehow having a title and name I think I will be never able to be active enough to enjoy my title long enough before the ranking system will be expanded again... ::)
In addition to it, personally I would not consider the "Master Builder" title too seriously because of the posts rather than taking that title more seriously because of the games created. :D

You are free to beat me but you must keep yourself old and moderately active as I am to keep your position. O0

Yikes. Alley's an old time member, and is being beat by a guy who's been very active for a short time! It'll be awhile before anybody catches up with me. 25,000+ posts! A few of them are 1 word though. Like "Okay" or "Gotcha" or something like that.

Yeah, we are really far from CGM, but not at this point. He have 2.500posts, but we have at least 1/5 of it's posts. Maybe we can beat him.
