I can't move up using the "W" key. Instead, if I press "7" it works. It seems that this is listed in the Master Community Beta Buglist but no fix for it is given (plus I'm not using a beta build of the game). I'm not sure if it has anything to do with this, but I got the game off the Humble Indie Bundle. I first downloaded the standalone version and played through the tutorial, only to find that I couldn't get through one of the levels (had only 7 mana, spell cost 20) so I went ahead and redeemed it on Steam and installed it and that fixed the tutorial bug. But now the W key is bugged. I'm not sure if the W key worked prior to me using the Steam version, but it definitely doesn't work on either version of the game now.
Nvm, silly me. It's a bug, but I didn't realize you could easily fix it by configuring your key bindings in-game. Just press ESC while playing and select "Configure key-bindings" and change it from 7 back to W.
