How to play:

• 'a'/'d' or left/right key to move

To fix:

• while on controller, when on skill tree, should be able to select skills
• leaving pause menu while also having the skill tree open resumes game
• skill tree can be opened while on pause menu
• on itch.io the 'quit' breaks the game obviously
• Jump  while rolling whenever we want to    [✔]

Ideas & suggestions:

• Scroll button should be used to change weapon    [✔]
• Shoot 360º
• Co-op mode
