I was trying to figure out why I despise the controls. I think you are right. The first time I hit left it did something, the second time it ignored me.

As a button masher (go left, go left!) this is infuriating.

I tried to find the source so I could change this, but it doesn't seem to be in the samples dir, at least not by that name.

Yup, that was frustrating!

  That may make sense for some games, but for a game that has two directions, it makes less sense. Probably better to completely disable the arrow keys -- or better, limit it to the spacebar -- to reinforce single-button design. Or, just intuitively support left & right.

    On mobile, it works really well because all u have to do is tap to change the direction. They should just remove the arrow keys on web, as you said.

      Or, better, make them function as is the norm for every other game.

I had to start using the space bar instead of the arrows -- it reinforced in my mind that it was a single-button controller.

Just use the spacebar, or really any key other than arrows.

It seems like all the buttons on the keyboard can be used to tap and are toggles.

Yea. Automatically used left/right for the movement, only then realized it is 1 tap.
