I'm a tester for this game and have followed its development for over a year. Without giving away any trade secrets, I can say that the controls are quite intuitive, and the number of options scales with the advancement of the characters, so that at the beginning you have a manageable number of choices, while further on, there are more complex things you can do. The devs have also included in-game tutorial text that is quite good at teaching you the basics, while leaving plenty of scope for you to discover little tricks of your own. As I said, I've been testing this game and would likely have received a copy when all was said and done, but I am sufficiently pleased with the product, and even more with the willingness of the devs to respond to feedback, and even add new features as an experiment that I have backed this project at a significant level.
