Would be better if it supported arrows in addition to WASD for controls: it is literally unplayable internationally.

It does support arrows though. Worked fine for me at least.

Why WASD ? A lots of people on the Internet doesn't have a Qwerty keyboard.

Wait. What do you use for PC games by default in those countries?

You just remap whatever keys are in that position. For me on Dvorak that would be ",aoe".

WASD is fine in games if you listen for key codes, but not if you're comparing it to the key character

It's because I just changed the game to support arrow keys :)

Since the movement speed is tied to requestAnimationFrame, the speed of the game changes with the update frequency of the user's monitor. Since all my monitors are at 144Hz this game is ridiculously fast for me.

To clarify, there's nothing wrong with tying your movement to requestAnimationFrame() and it is in fact encouraged, but you must modulate it by the frame delta.

The keys exactly at the same place, normally it's done automatically by the game.

Big games already have the right bindings, the others have to be configured. Sometimes it is not possible, and we just pass.
