Beware if youre not a lefty...

Everything about this game is top-notch except the controls.

The buttons are layed out in a way that almost seems intentionally awkward. For example, if you use your right hand to steer the ship (as most right-handed folks would be apt to do), all the buttons for bombs and special weapons are hidden by your hand, as theyre all lined up along the right side of the screen, while your hand has to be in the center of the screen to control the ship.

So if you want to drop a bomb, charge a weapon, or even check how much ammo you have left, you literally have to move your hand off the controls. In a frantic arcade shooter, i think its obvious why thats a bad thing.

On the upside, if youre a lefty, it looks like everything is positioned just right for you!
