I thought the touchscreen controls were nice as well, and I could emulate them with the mouse, but its going to be enough work making a game with keyboard controls, right?
In other news, I've been busy reinstalling Windows 7 (I was using Release Candidate still, and it was set to expire in 4 or 5 days, haha), but I did model, texture, and sorta animate a Chu Chu enemy. No AI yet though.
