Starcatcher mouse input

I’ve been struggling with mouse input for some time now, trying different things.  This latest version has you moving in 4 directions using wasd, and then allowing aiming the catcher with the mouse independant of the movement.  I want your feedback.  Please let me know if this works at all, maybe some of those fps people would have an easy time using this, because I don’t.

    Well, it worked for me. Then again, I’m pretty comfortable with the default FPS controls. The only thing I’m not too happy with is the sliding behaviour of the ship, but the wasd and mouse controls are fine.

    Have you considered customizable controls already?

    Funny game bytheway, although I’d add a few more elements to it if I were you. Stars with different behaviour, obstacles, things like that.

    Yes things will be added.

    Well only 2 people have thus far said the fps controls work ok. The sliding was for friction, and is supposed to emulate the game Asteroids ship movement.
