Gave it a shot.
Thanks for playing our game iwanPlays! Pity the controller didn't work for you. I can't imagine why, we did test it.
Some keyboards don't actually allow you to press more than 3 buttons at the same time, I remember this being an issue even when I was a kid playing Mortal Kombat with my friends on a pc! The option is available to fire the gun with your mouse though, allow you to fly around with the arrow keys.
Either way, thanks for trying it and responding to my email!
