The web version is a PICO-8 game. PICO-8 is a very constrained fantasy console (posted here on HN a few times). ESDF are actually the "player 2" keys of the "console", so they're easy to access from within, unlike the actual keyboard - letting me save precious code tokens (you only get 8192 for the whole game on the PICO-8) for actual gameplay.

Fun game btw.
