Post Mouse too clunky? Try the arrow keys!

Hello! Great game here, thanks for making it available! I've been enjoying it so far. =)

I'd like to point out something that may not have been addressed earlier - if it has been, I apologize.

I've discovered that you can, in fact, control your characters with the arrow keys on overworlds and, more importantly, inside dungeons and cities. You can move forwards, backwards, and turn pretty quickly, and it's a huge help.

I can see what the developers were trying to do with the controls in the 3D areas, making the game completely mouse-controlled, but for those areas it's a bit clunky and slow. The "diagonal" movement arrows in the corners can be annoying when you just want to turn without moving and click in the wrong area.

Another thing, the arrow keys (which includes numpad arrows) will work as long as your cursor is over the main game window, not the bottom area with the character portraits. So if the arrow keys stop working, make sure your cursor is over the main gameplay area.
