Consider this game as "Early access": it's playable, but far from finished and your feedback will be crucial to guide the rest of the development.
Description:
Westward is a collaborative browser-based MMORPG where the players have to build a nation. “The story of the creation and defense of communities, the mastery of the land, the development of an economy, and the formation of a nation.” (Quoted from Wikipedia about a certain epoch of US history).
Starting from nothing, the players need to collaborate and organize themselves to improve their lot, continuously expanding westward in order to grow and conquering an hostile civilization in the process.
This requires building complementary buildings, harvesting resources, setting up an economy, exploring the land, defending from invasions and securing new land through military conquest. In every single one of these endeavors, the players have the central roles.
The geography, the location of resources, and the dangers posed by the wildlife and the enemy civilization set the stage while leaving the players in charge of deciding what goals to pursue and how to overcome the challenges they face.
Lots of improvements are planned along the following lines:
- Improving the visuals of the game (work is currently done on new character sprites with more animations and which show the equipment);
- Increasing the varitey of items, wildlife and abilities;
- Refinement of existing mechanics (battle, crafting, enemy civilization...).

Sounds like a good solution for the controls! I suggest to experiment with the keyboard controls as well! Combination in the controls might yield good results as well.Jerome 4 years ago
