well aprone I tried with the mouse but ended up after trying to turn
to smash into walls all the time.
or the borders.
I managed somehow to centre one zombie but then I prity much die
quickly and I can't even hear the impact.

Chris, you're right about the steering. There is a bug that keeps
the shift-a and shift-d from realizing how much you've already
turned with the mouse. I suppose oversight would be a better word
than bug, since the code isn't broken in that place it just doesn't
exist. I forgot to put it in, lol. I'll try to have that fixed for
the next update.
I guess it is all about the keyboard you're using, but the Shift-a
and shift-d doesn't require me to move my hands at all. I'm using
the left shift button which my left hand's "pinky" finger is already
resting on while positioned to use the W A S D keys. If Alt is more
convenient for you to press then just let me know and I'll make that
an alternative to do the same function.
I'll see what I can do about the pony and world peace. :D Hehe.
