⌨️ KEYS ⌨️

the moon-buggy is controlled by a couple of keys, which are described near the bottom of the screen 🖥️ so if you forget, it's literally right there. most important are the following keys:

• SPC, j — makes your car jump 🦘 the length of a jump is fixed and you can only start a new jump while the wheels have contact to the ground. so no mid-air double jump bestie, sorry 😭 timing is everything.
• a, l — fires the mining laser 🔫✨ the laser is used to remove stones, which may block your way. very girlboss of it.
• q — quits the game prematurely 🙈 but you still keep your score and may enter the highscore list 🏅 so like, leaving early is valid actually.
