INGAME CONTROLS

Fixed Controls

Key(s)	Purpose
Enter	Choose a menu option
Escape	Go back to the previous menu
F9	View in-game statistics (e.g. FPS)
P	Pause the game
Alt + Enter	Switch between full-screen and windowed mode
1-5	Switch weapon to Blaster, Toaster, Missile, Bouncer or TNT respectively. If the desired weapon is not available, try next.

Configurable Controls

These are configurable via the "setup options" menu. Default settings:

Key(s)	Purpose
Left arrow and Right arrow	Move left and right
Space bar	Jump/Swim upwards
left Alt	Shoot
right Ctrl	Change weapon

Important

Under Windows the Jump and Shoot keys are moved to the right to
avoid opening the window context menu. That means Space bar ⇒ Shoot and right Alt ⇒ Jump/Swim upwards. Other platforms may have other defaults.

Game Controllers

Most game controllers and joysticks that SDL recognizes can be used.
However, not all axes or buttons may be available. Needs manual settings.
