The keyboard key to actually click the menu items doesn't respond in the final build cause I repurposed it for some different control methods throughout the weekend.  I didn't notice cause I was always either clicking the menu items with the mouse or using an xbox controller at the end.  It would help if people could actually play the game!  I'm assuming enabling that keyboard key again would be allowed within the LD rules.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":686138,"author_name":"grandtheftmarmot","author_uid":"grandtheftmarmot","epoch":1619918076,"text":"@cpv @siberpunk01 Sorry, reading back through my game description it was most definitely not clear that there is no aiming.  lol. That must have been frustrating.  Tried to update that in the text.  (The idea was to just focus entirely on the timing and mindset of the other player, if you get to play with one.  Although the more advanced Los Angeles and Typhoon modes have a really messed up sort of dodging\/movement thing that could be interpreted as aiming, at least within the context of some kind of nightmare you'd have after playing a video game too much.)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":686180,"author_name":"AhSpike","author_uid":"ahspike","epoch":1619919455,"text":"@grandtheftmarmot Clicking is working now.
