Tried it a little bit, I enjoy the game but it would be nice if you
supported the arrow keys for movement and space for fire, the controls
were a little difficult for me to manage :)




Oops. You are right. I did forget the SDL.dll.

Speaking about the arrow keys, I tried them but couldn't figure out how to get SDL
to recognize two arrow keys for diagonals. The fire key is easy enough though. :)
