cold itzler best game good controls good premise good overall

Hey, I really like this game but I'm sad you havent updated it. I would love if you were able to customize the controls. I cant rightclick due to using a touchpad on chromebook.

I'm sorry to hear that the control scheme doesn't work for you. I've had some trouble getting it to work properly on windows as well. I would love to be able to include the control schemes and customization required to play this in any way, but I can't test inputs on these devices, as I do not have them. If you describe the system you envision, I will see what I can do, I would really like to fix issues like that.
