How to play

Controls

You play with the mouse. A few keys open panels. During a round, press L (by default) to open the legend with everything from these pages.

The gear at the top right opens the settings, with three cards. Picture holds the quality, "Reduce motion" and "Show ranges". Sound has two sliders, one for the music and one for the sounds, and a switch that mutes the game while its tab is hidden. Controls lists every action with its key: click the key and press a new one to change it. A key that is in use swaps with the old one, and "Reset keys" brings the defaults back.
