no gamepad connected — keyboard only
Controls Rust port — same game as the handheld builds (RG34XX SP / RG552), title screen through the Moon-base shop. Keyboard or a connected gamepad (any standard-mapped controller).
←/→/A/D turn, ↑/W burn, IJKL strafe, Space fire, Shift missile, Ctrl mine — Enter pause/menu, M system map (hold with Earth or the Moon locked and in range: open comms), V camera view, Q/E zoom out/in, T vector-thrust mode, R scanner (hold: lock a target for missiles, or Earth/the Moon for nav; in the map: nav cycle), F right-stick click. Home/End/PageUp/PageDown stand in for the right stick (used by SECRET LEVELS' landing scenes to tune flatten/zoom/planet-size knobs). D-pad/stick/face buttons on a gamepad map the same way as the handheld builds.
SECRET LEVELS → CO-OP (two players): player 2 uses a second gamepad — or, with only one connected, that one (player 1 keeps the keyboard) — or the numpad: 8 burn, 4/6 turn, 0 fire, . missile, Enter mine, + boost, - scanner, * vector-thrust mode, / Start. Each player's X (R for player 1) toggles their scanner. Outside Earth's sphere of influence, hold Start (Enter / numpad /) to fly that ship home on autopilot; tapping Enter still pauses.
F11, double-click the game, or the button above: full screen (Esc to leave).
