Fantastic game...problematic controls – The Cave Review

This is a terrific game: beautiful artwork, great concept, fantastic replayability. But the controls are definitely frustrating. It's almost impossible to put down an item to pick up something else,(see edit below) and maneuvering can be hit or miss. I truly wish there were control options for d-pad or swipe controls so the user could choose which works best for them. I'd also love to see them cycle through the "standard" cave sections so that there are perhaps two or three more sections, and you play different ones each time through, instead of the same three (mine, zoo, island). These can get tedious since you must play them over and over with each new set of characters. Still giving 5 stars as the game itself makes up for all the frustration during play. Definitely should be up in the best games list. EDIT: Dropping an item is a double click. This is incredibly useful to know. Also, I wasn't even aware that there was music in this game as there is none on mine. Sound is fine, but no music at all. Frankly, I thought it was a style choice as we are in a cave, and the echoing sounds rather match the mood, so it didn't bother me in the slightest, but just a note that there is apparently a bug where this is concerned.
