well, if i'm the player i would agree with you. And as a programmer, i have
to give what the player want, right?
and as for my game, yesterday i have change the menu navigation system. So
right now it only using up and down arrow key and enter to select the menu,
instead of having a lot of key.
but still, i'm using ESC key to go to pause menu, and use up/down key to
highlight the menu (resume game / exit game) and then enter to select the
highlighted menu. I think it would make the player a litlle less consfuse
than having a lot of key.
sorry i haven't update the game on my site. It's still the old one.
