I'm interested in running this game but was a bit taken aback when I saw runs were restricted to controllers only.

There's no question that - in a point and click game - a mouse is the best way to point and click. I understand the reasoning behind the rule is to keep times consistent between switch and PC, but they're separate categories. Allowing PC players to use a mouse is not unfair to runners in a separate category.

I love this game and want more people to know about it, but you don't increase interest in a game by limiting who can submit runs.
