Oh, come on Bard, and here I was thinking: at last somebody agrees that the controls are awkward!
Come on, one get used to them after a while, but some feature are just bizarre.
For example, why put the space bar as jump? It means you have to use both your hands to direct the character with the direction keys and to jump. And then you have to go back to the mouse to look around.
And looking around... why didn't they implement this feature as in any FPS: you look around when you move your mouse. Now you have to click and then mouve the mouse, which sometimes make you move forward, thus falling to your death.
The controls are not horrible, but they could have been easily better.
