After some players expressed difficulty with adapting to the Space Thinger control set I have uploaded a new build with a redefined set of keyboard and mouse controls. This new control set can be viewed by use of the controls button on the main menu and hopefully will be much easier for players to get to grips with!
If you've spent time getting good with the old controls fear not, by pressing the U key in game you can change back to the old set, the only exception being the key to change from first to third person and back which has been moved to the left ctrl key as space is now used elsewhere. Space Thinger will remember your preferred control set so you won't have to do this every time you start a new game!
An auto fire toggle key has also been added so you can now save yourself finger ache and just hold down the primary fire button if that's your preferred style of play.
Let me know what you think and if you encounter any problems please let me know asap.
