MAKE IT YOURS
Choose your
controls.
Controls can be adjusted in the game settings. Touch steering offers a directional pad or pointer swipes.
- Keyboard
- Arrow keys or WASD to move. P, Space or Escape pauses or resumes. M toggles mute. Enter activates the focused game action; use the keyboard normally to move through menu choices.
- Touch
- Press and slide on the on-screen directional pad, or enable Swipe in Settings → Controls to steer anywhere on the maze. Swipe to queue a turn; the courier keeps moving when you lift.
- Gamepad
- For standard-mapped controllers, use the D-pad or left stick to move, A to confirm, B to go back, and Start to pause or resume. In Settings → Controls → Controller Check, choose Automatic or a connected controller and check its connection status.
Standard gamepad button map
D-pad: buttons 12–15 · left stick: axes 0–1 with a 0.35 dead zone · A: button 0 · B: button 1 · Start: button 9.
- Game & display settings
- Reduced motion, color-friendly warden shapes, route and warden cues, and skipping scenes you have already seen. Sound settings include separate levels and mute. Touch steering and controller selection are in Settings → Controls.
Sparks and Dawn Blitz
In Story runs with Dawn Blitz enabled, collect 40 sparks to charge the attack, catch the bonus fruit, then steer into star 1 to begin. Follow its glowing trail to catch wardens; leaving the trail ends the attack. No separate Spark or Blitz button is needed.
IN THE MAZE
Every turn
counts.
