Controls

• Use the cursor keys to move and SPACE to attack or pick up things
• Esc / Ctrl-C: terminates mission and goes back to main menu
• Ctrl-N: turns the sound on/off

New (not in the original game):

• F10, Ctrl-W and Ctrl-Q: quits at any time
• Ctrl-I: (cheat) toggles invincibility: damage no longer drains the energy bar
• Ctrl-O: (cheat) toggles one-hit kills: every hit knocks the enemy down
• Ctrl-P: (cheat) adds $100 to PAY
• Ctrl-J: (cheat) adds 100 to the timer, up to 999
• Ctrl-K: toggles responsive controls (on by default): the cursor keys and SPACE act while held and stop on release, and every SPACE press is a new attack. Off restores the original (classic) feel.
• Alt-Enter / F11 (macOS: Cmd-Enter / Cmd-F11): toggles fullscreen. The game starts in fullscreen by default. Use --window on the command line to start in a window.
