Keyboard and controller

Controls and keybinds

Default inputs, browser limitations, and why the Windows v0.1.10 demo is better if you need custom key bindings.

Quick checklist

  • - Keyboard defaults: WASD movement, J attack, K jump, L dodge.
  • - Space defends; Space + J parries.
  • - Use Windows v0.1.10 for key rebinding.

Keep defensive keys under one hand

  • - Treat Space as your default defensive anchor: hold it to defend, then add J only when the heavy parry timing is clear.
  • - Keep L ready for spacing resets instead of using it as the answer to every attack.
  • - If Space + J feels awkward in browser play, switch to the Windows build and use key rebinding when available.

Default controls

Move with W/A/S/D or the left joystick. Attack and confirm with J or controller Button A. Jump with K, dodge with L, interact with E, defend with Space, parry with Space + J, and heal with O.

Controller labels may vary by device, but the official page lists Button A, Button B, Button Y, Left Shoulder, and Left Trigger for the same actions.

Browser vs Windows

The browser demo is convenient for a quick try, but the reference guide recommends the Windows build if you need key rebinding or more stable frame times.
