How do you control it? I click once and it goes into a spin and is unusable.

One tap to move right. One tap to stop moving right.

Don't hold down the arrows.

Go to the spot you want before starting the simulator.

Press control and angle yourself where you want to start looking (point yourself) then start the simulator

The meter on the right controls your speed. Starts at 50

Can also use your mouse. It is pretty intuitive
