Relying on absolute cursor position out to the very edges/corners of the window is a bad idea, it's too easy to go outside and lose control while trying to get to the extreme positions necessary.

It works much better in full screen mode (F11 for Firefox), but even then, you can still end up getting confused by mouse events outside the game window. My lower right corner of the screen causes my machine to sleep, and in full screen, if you move the mouse to the very top, the chrome will windowshade down.

Totally agree. This felt like a game that's really more suited to be played fullscreen, but is stuck in a browser. If you're going to live in the browser you also have to live within it's constraints, ie, don't make me quick-twitch to the corner.

Absolutely, for this reason it's much better to use the keyboard.

Keyboard control for something like this is way too slow. I can't react in time, especially with the field of view partially obstructed by the fighter.
