Had a similar comment on starting reality mode.

One issue that arrive after a few minutes that's related, is the map arrows to be able to scroll around would often vanish. Going to the zoomed out overview map would eventually have the navigation return, yet kept occasionally happening for some reason.

Fun game, although world got flooded pretty much instantly, so was a bit of a downer. Still not sure if trade routes actually do anything other than explore the map. Did not ever seem to actually connect to nearby structures.

Be nice if there was some way to zoom out one level at least. Really... wanted to be able to zoom out after having 5-10 structures.

On Dvorak, WASD never works; game designers should use arrow keys or find a lower-level way to access key events that doesn't depend on the software layout.

Usually game developers use keyboard scancodes which are layout agnostic rather than the character generated when pressing a key, so it works on dvorak, AZERTY, etc.

I don't know if Scratch supports them though. Seems like it would given it's game focus.

Safari as well, and I couldn't get any other keys to work besides WASD

You have to click a square of land first, and then space will add a building (or whatever you cycle to with the arrows).

(Edit: at least in fantasy mode. I haven't yet worked out what to do in reality mode.)
