The controls follow the twin-stick shooter pattern of control, where the player's movement and direction of shooting are independent of each other. The player can input these controls using the keyboard. The abilities that the player has access to and can control are:

  • Movement in any direction
  • Shoot ranged weapon
  • Attack with melee weapon
  • Use an item

Default Keybindings

Movement

The player can move in any of the cardinal directions by using WASD by default. They can also move in a diagonal by using multiple keys at once

Shoot

Firing the player's currently equipped Ranged Weapon uses the Arrow Keys by default. They can be held to continuously fire, although the player cannot fire while their weapon is reloading. The player's gun reloads when they attempt to shoot while without ammo (this includes holding down the shoot button).
