        You could assign keys to strafe in 1993.

            I have distinct memories of my dad teaching me to strafe on his 486-powered laptop with a laggy monochrome screen. Maybe it was a modifier key that changed left/right to strafing? It was definitely a feature in the OG Doom and Wolfenstein 3D before it.

                They don’t want to admit they never bothered looking at the control options.

            Me and my cousins absolutely used strafe back in the early 90s. And forwards. And backwards. We were so excited every time we got into a gunfight we would have moved vertically too if there was an option for it.

              There was an option for that. It was called “Descent”.

            Nobody I knew in the early 90s played with strafe. That wasn’t a thing that existed. I couldn’t agree with you more.

              Get USB OTG and plug in any keyboard. Or you could use a bluetooth one.

      I proved I was human on mobile without strafe. You just have to let them come to you. The wall protect you.

          I did it without camping. Only took like 4 tries.

          Just run to the hole upfront that’s slightly to the left and shoot while running there.

          I even managed to grab a shotgun.
