I realized that in [this game](https://arcade.makecode.com/42966-20301-04382-27202) wasd and backspace work, but no arrow keys or ways to press A or B, and rely on clicking to play it (like on a mobile device.) The simulator works fine for me elsewhere. Any idea what’s going on?

also the reason why mobile do not work is because it was never meant to work on these devices
