Issues fixed

Inability to exit Key mapping menu

The game defaults to the Z and Q keys to Move forward and Move left, causing the latter to confict with the Enrage to Crinos action and disallowing to exit the menu without reassigning the key.

Set the "Move forward" and "Move left" keys to W and A or any other unused keys.[6]
