controls...

Using the mouse has no advantage over other players. It doesn't speed up the rate at which the player travels. It is really just a preference of which device you like playing with. Personally, I prefer keyboard or gamepad. Actually, now I'm curious what everybody's favorite input device is for Space HoRSE.

Oh yeah, Space HoRSE will not physically hit the shelves. It will only be available to order Online from Shrapnel Games, around the end of June.

in the demo, are gamepads already supported?

[Gillissie]

Yes.

I think it would be a good idea to have "tool tips"
or Messages that pop up to describe what the "current"
screen expects as input....

example:
if you have the mouse as primary controller,
each screen should pop-up a brief memo as to exactly
how to use the current device (mouse) to provide valid
input....

Or maybe just have it pop-up while the F1 key is held down.
It would make learning to play much easier.

Shrapnel Games discourages too much ingame help, since it prevents the need for a printed manual, and makes it easier for people to play it that didn't buy it legally.
