There is so much to love about this game, but the controls are so bad I just can't be bothered with it. Having your character idle for 5 minutes to regain health is a bad mechanic.

I'm going to keep plugging at it and trying to finish, see if I can find a way to actually make it work without Death Touch, and overall I've still enjoyed this game plenty - The concept, the presentation are all fantastic, and it's fairly short, enough that I…
