Hello :D

I'm making a platform game and I need some opinions here.

The player moves left and right with A & D, jumps with SPACE and aims with the mouse.

It currently runs when holding the left SHIFT key. However some people have found that rather uncomfortable... Although I have no problem with it.

What would you use as an alternative for the SHIFT key?

<3!

Perhaps make it so the player jumps with W and sprints with a double tap of either direction? That reduces the amount of buttons a lot and makes it a lot easier for the user. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Hope that helps!

SHIFT is the ultimate key for running/sprinting, ;P

Maybe tapping D or A twice could make the character go into the sprinting mode.

Shift is fine in most cases, but are you using both mouse buttons? Right-clicking for run seems like it may work well if you're already requiring the player to aim with the mouse.
