There are slowly-rotating objects that it seems like I should be able to pick up or something? But I can't. I assume this is related to the fact that I have no idea how to beat the first level (I defeated all enemies and went to the princess). Not sure if this is supposed to happen, but I also can walk through the cage around her and some other objects (castle-looking thing).

Shoot the cage (after all enemies are dead) to save the princess. The powerups can be shot to gain content.

My mouse didn't seem to lock to the game window so I could only turn so far before my mouse hit the edge of the screen. Other than that it is a cool game to play around with!

Did you click "Allow" when it asks to look the pointer? (seems to work in FF and Chrome)

Ah okay, I notice it now that you point it out. Was hard to notice the small popup while I was focused on looking at the game not the little window above it that popped up :/

Looks like fun. (FWIW, seems to work in Firefox on OSX.)

Unfortunately, using WASD for movement is very uncomfortable for me, because I am left-handed and use the mouse with my left hand.

Yes, I'm aware of the WASD trouble for some people and I've noted this for future development of both new games and possible updates for this game. Thanks for your input!

Could you please support ZQSD (azerty keyboards)? You just have to alias Z=W, and Q=A.

It's a very simple thing, but almost no web game does it, which makes them unplayable on many computers. I shouldn't have to switch my keyboard layout to use a website :(

Your fault for using a nonstandard layout. Next you'll complain, that it doesn't work when you disable javascript.

It's a french standard. Every french/belgian keyboard is AZERTY-based.

You don't HAVE to support it, but accessibility is nice, especially when it comes at virtually no cost except awareness (it is not supported because people don't know it exists).
