Hey, I love the game!  (Though I am still 2 trinkets short...).

I was wondering which keys everyone used, given all the options.  I like the arrow keys myself.  I tried using just the arrow keys for a while, but I can't do it all with one hand, so I use the spacebar for flipping.  I have also tried using the up arrow, A, and D just to switch hands every once in a while.

Also, has anyone finished the game in flipped mode?  I like the ending (and I think the music played backwards in some parts).

I play it with just the arrows, using the opposite directions to flip-- for example down to flip up, etc. Feels like pushing off a surface, or something. I dunno. :D

I used the up arrow key.

I actually use the V key for Action.  I started on a whim with a chortle, and now I continue out of habit and a weird sense of principle.

I'm the same as Stephen, I just started using the V key, and kinda just got accustomed to it.

Arrow keys the "normal" way (hit up to jump upwards, down to jump down).

no one uses a controller? I absolutely hate playing platformers with arrow keys. I don't see how you guys do it  :vitellary:

VAgentZero

Left/Right/Z.

@allen:  I grew up playing Duke Nukem 1 on the PC.  I actually find platformers more natural using a keyboard, oddly.  The digital on/off nature of keys instead of moving my thumb around a d-pad or analog stick makes more sense to me.  Your mileage may (and does) vary, of course.   :viridian:

Initially, I played using left, right, and Z.

However, I've since adapted to using the down key as well.

I can now play this game proficiently with one hand.

Arrows and spacebar.

ditto ^_^ guess that using keyboard for most games is a habit I got from Amiga (yeah there were digital joysticks... but they didn't last long =)

I used up and down (it seem more natural to me), but had to resort universal space key to perform some of the hardest rooms.
