But I perservered because they were in the minority of the puzzles and loved the maze feel of the game. My skills did get marginally better by the end of the game (I didn't have to keep looking down as much), but never enough to entice me to use the keyboard again in any game. Perhaps if I kept at it, it would become easy, but these are games after all and if I feel like I'm working at it, it takes all the fun away. Besides, as someone else replied, there are a good choice of mouse driven games to play, so I'll give my support to those instead.
And that's perfectly fine. Note that I'm not saying Bad Mojo should have been easy for everybody. I was just providing an example of a game which "offers that thrill [of moving around] (...) while remaining a real adventure". I'm not arguing one control scheme being better than another, but one is sometimes more suited to a particular game (can you imagine Bad Mojo in point'n'click?).
