Can't attack normally
Still on the first island; I don't know what I did, but all the sudden the Z button wasn't working for attacks. Was acting normal for quests and picking up things, but my character was just standing there while everything was killing her.
Mouse clicking was still working, but it was awkward, so I closed the game and came back. Whoops, now the mouse doesn't work either. The only thing that works now is the little sword icon at the bottom of the page (which says "none" above it for some reason, don't know if that's normal).
I have a steel sword equipped, but I tried taking it on and off again, or switching to other weapons. Nada. Little Pixel Lady is determined to do a pacifist run.

If it says "none", that means the key for attack has been unbound and that's why it's not working. Open the options menu, go to controls, and then either reset it or assign the keys you want for attacking/etc.

I forgot to mention in my OP, I did that already. Though I suppose I can try again.

EDIT: Nope, still not working.

Okay, I see some of *where* the wonkiness is-- it's not letting me use the same key for actions and attack, even though that's what the default was.
PS. IS there a was to get to the control menu from the game, without closing and restarting it?

There should be a button for "controls" on the pause menu.

If you hit escape in game, the options menu will come up. Action and attack can NOT be the same key - action is perform an action with whatever your player character is facing (talk, open, chop, or melee attack), attack is use your equipped weapon (and the only way to fire bows and lets you attack even if there's a lot of interactable objects nearby).

Okay that's really weird. Because I played the complete demo and about half the starting island with Z playing a dual function.

The action key (Z) was just the action key, not the attack key - you got confused because it can perform melee attacks when next to an enemy (unless there's something on top of it).
