[edit] Controls

The game needs to take special care to distinguish between jump-with-up and jump-with-button. Running is automatic in this game.

[edit] Configuration 1 (jump with button)

[edit] Level

• walk/run: left/right
• duck: down
• jump: button1
• grab: button2
• backflip: down+button1

[edit] Worldmap/Menu

• walk: left/right/up/down
• enter level: button1

[edit] Configuration 2 (jump with up)

[edit] Level

• walk/run: left/right
• duck: down
• jump: up
• grab: button1
• backflip: down quickly followed by up

[edit] Worldmap/Menu

• walk: left/right/up/down
• enter level: button1

Notes:

• backflip must work even when the user can't press duck and jump at the same time
• worldmap level entering is in one configuration done with the grab key and in the other with the jump key, this must be allowed
• escape/return aren't remappable in-game and hard bound to showing/hiding the menu
• peeking left/right handling stays as is
• a Start-button might be a worthy consideration, since its semantics are different from Escape
• allowing hot-plugging of joystick would be nice (calling 'Setup Joystick' should query the joysticks in the system)
• ladders behavior must be compatible with both configurations
