[edit] Controls

The controls natively map to any gamepad. Twin-Stick and Mouse mode are fundamentally the same game, the only difference being Twin-Stick is mainly for gamepad play.

  • Arrow Keys/WASD = Analog Stick 1
  • IJKL = Analog Stick 2
  • Z = Odd buttons
  • X = Even Buttons

[edit] Gameplay Modes

  • Normal: Players move the ship with the arrow keys. The Z key shoots a wide spread of bullets in the direction the boat is currently facing. The X key shoots a "Lance," a powerful, single shot attack.
  • Twin-Stick: Players move with WASD, or the Arrow Keys, and can fire in different directions with IJKL. There is no lance attack.
  • Mouse: Players move the boat with WASD or Arrow Keys, aim with the mouse, shoot a straight attack with the left mouse button, and shoot a wide attack with the right mouse button.
  • Double-Play: One ship is controlled with WASD, the other with IJKL. Both ships constantly shoot straight ahead. There is also a wire connecting the two ships, with a turret in the center that shoots in the angle between the two ships.
