Which controls feel best?

Three versions of Octo Rush. Same game, three ways to move. Play each one, then pick the one that should be the real version.

octo-rush-spacebar

1 · Spacebar

Aim with the mouse, hold SPACEBAR to move. Your hand rests on the keyboard and the mouse only steers. No clicking while you play.

octo-rush-classic

2 · Classic

Aim with the mouse, hold LEFT CLICK to move. The original scheme — everything happens with the mouse, nothing else to reach for.

octo-rush-settings

3 · Your choice

Both — the player picks. On the save screen, click the line that says how you move to switch between spacebar and click. It remembers your choice.

What to compare

Which is easier to steer?Try a level with lots of umbrellas and see which one you crash less with.
Which hand gets tired?Holding a mouse button for a whole level feels different from holding a key.
Would a stranger work it out?Judges have never played it before. Which one needs least explaining?
Is the choice worth it?Version 3 is kinder to players, but it is one more thing that can go wrong.
