Hack description

This changes the directional controls to match other NES games like Solstice, Snake Rattle 'N Roll, and Bill & Ted's.

Also fixed the direction in which you drop objects to also match

(This patch applies only to the earlier beta. It is based on elbobelo's Direction Hack for the later beta.)

Actually makes the game playableWhiteHat942024-02-06Version 1.0

With default controls I find the game to be unplayable, they are rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise from typical isometric, so my muscle memory and brain just can't handle it. This fix is great, it's a solid game now.
