Yeah, I also thought WASD aiming would be limiting. One thing that might help is to simply include a cursor once dashing is unlocked, because if i got it right the aim is decided by the mouse position relative to the player, and since i can't see the mouse it's not always clear how far i need to move it to change direction, so i ended up making bigger movement than needed.
Also, i tried to joing your discord server from the link on your profile page but it seems the invite is invalid/expired?
