Well, this is not the first level, but this is the level entry weapon.

Plus, left and right arrows rotate the characters since it's keyboard only, but in modern FPS you are used to having them laterally move you and you rotate with the mouse, so your reflexes are off.

As in the original, you can use alt + left/right arrow keys to strafe.

Good memory.

But very platform dependant, so maybe OP is on a browser or OS that doesn't let you do that.

I know it works on Chrome for me, but not on FF.

Probably because firefox has alt+(left|right)arrow as global navigation bindings, and is capturing them before the captcha can get them. requesting a fullscreen gaming mode avoids more key binding issues, but probably ruins the "captcha" feel.

So this is just as difficult as every other captcha then

nice, that was the first thing that I noticed that I kept trying to do. It makes it a lot easier. I forgot about how clunky controls can be for older games without retroarch rebinds and stuff. I was playing Perfect Dark last night on my Steamdeck and I was able to bind the controls to a modern layout (left-stick walk, right-stick look, etc...) and it makes the game a ton easier.

In Windows the issue is that alt+space will by default open the window's control menu (for minimize/maximize/move/etc.). Pressing space down and then alt will work though.

thanks, without strafing it's almost impossible

I've just learned that my colleague played it on phone and won with two attempts. She just didn't move forward, only left right and shoot

use , . for strafing. Not ideal, but it works.
