.w = up
.a = left
.s = down
.d = right

to see more options go to the menu and type "-h" (without the quotes)

It s weird I take everything out of the zip ( windows build) but i get "There should be 'BruteForceCommander_Data'
folder next to the executable" even though the directory is right there. :/

Very interesting idea. I think it should be slower paced though.

Interesting but hard.

Creative interface style, though it quickly became so irritating in practice that I gave up. :-( Typing the enemy's 3-character code wasn't the worst. Having to hit three separate keys to simply move a bit was too much though. Maybe a compromise where movement is achieved just by pressing WASD once, but it only applys on the frame when the key is pressed. So if you want to move up a bunch, you still have to hit W multiple times, once for each bit of thrust. The force multiplier could slowly ramp up if the player is repeatedly hitting the same direction quickly.

Interesting mechanics, but too hard to control everything through text in my opinion. I kept getting shot right away.

Good concept but it might work better in a turn-based environment.

I'm starting to see a lot of these typing games.

Cool idea, it makes it a lot more intense having to type "-w","-s",etc. everytime. I would definitely consider this game a "Gamer's" game, as it's pretty difficult :D

Fun to play, but really hard.
Projectiles should move slower, that would make game easier.

The mechanics makes it nearly impossible to react to the missiles.
