Controls

So how the heck do you do anything with your character? Why, my friend, it’s simple. The game uses 5 keys for most commands, and they can be easily accessed without having to dart your hand around the keyboard.

Moving Left and Right

…is simple. If you’re player 1, then you use the left and right arrow keys. For player 2, you use the a and d keys (a is left, d is right).

Jumping

As a side scrolling game, jumping is very important. Player 1 uses the up arrow to jump, while player 2 uses the w key.

Basic Attacks

Your simplest form of offense is the basic attack. When used, two small arrows appear to your left and right. If an enemy is struck with those arrows (which remain as long as you hold down the button), they take 1 point of damage and are pushed backwards. If you attack that enemy with this when you are in the same space, the take 2 damage. Player 1 does basic attacks with the down arrow key, while player 2 uses the s key.

Special Attacks

Each character has two unique special attacks. They are used by pressing down on the special attack key (which is the enter key for player 1, and the space bar for player 2), and pressing on either their jump key, the left key, the right key, or the basic attack key. More info on special attacks will be found on the character’s pages.
