COMMANDER KEEN DEMO
===================
Playing the Game
----------------
Now we'll cover all the actions you can do in the game (the keys mentioned
are the defaults). Commander Keen can:
RUN LEFT/RIGHT Use the [left] and [right] arrow keys to move.
JUMP Press [Ctrl] to make Keen jump. (This is Button 1 in joystick
control.)
POGO Press [Alt] to use your pogo stick. You can jump higher with it,
but it is harder to control. Press [Alt] again to stop using it. (This
is button 2 in joystick control.)
SHOOT Press [space] (or [Ctrl] and [Alt] if you chose Two-Button Firing)
to fire your Neural Stunner. It will fire in the direction you are facing.
ENTER If you are standing in front of a doorway, pressing the up arrow
will enter the door.
CLIMB POLE Press [up] or [down] when in front of a pole to get on it and
shinny up or slide down the pole. If you press [right] or [left], you
will swing around to face that side. You can get off the pole quickly by
pressing [Ctrl].
GRAB ONTO EDGE You can jump and grab onto the edge of a surface. Press
[up] or the direction toward the surface you want to be upon ([left] or
[right]) to pull yourself up. If you push [down] or the arrow away from
that surface, you'll fall down.
FLIP SWITCH The switches on Fribbulus Xax are rather large, so you must
jump up into them, or down on top of them.
LOOK UP/LOOK DOWN Press and hold [up] or [down] to see more of the level
in that direction. This is very helpful when you don't think there is
anything to jump onto. Some hidden things might be revealed by looking up
or down.
DROP DOWN If you are on a platform or narrow floor, you can drop down by
holding [down] and pressing the jump key [Ctrl].
OPEN DOOR Doors need gem-shaped crystals to be placed in their gem
holders. To place the gem in the holder, just get the gem and walk up to
it.
To finish a level, you will need to either leave the level by the Exit sign
(if there is one), or find the important object in the level. For
instance, the First Dome of Darkness contains something that you need to
climb the cliff.
BOSS KEY You can make the game screen disappear instantly by pressing
[F9]. Press [Esc] to get back to the game.
Tons of bonus items and secret rooms are hidden in the game. Explore the
levels thoroughly!
Advanced Moves
--------------
There are some moves that can get you to those ``impossible-to-get-to''
places. Here they are:
IMPOSSIBLE POGO TRICK If you run left or right, then quickly press Pogo
[Alt] and Jump [Ctrl] in succession, you blast off at an angle. This move
may be nearly impossible if you use two-button firing.
MID-AIR POGO You can pull out your pogo stick in the middle of a normal
jump, giving you good control for that first jump.
SHOOT DOWN You can jump over a monster and shoot it from above by
pressing [down] and fire [space]. You can also shoot upward or while
climbing poles.
FAST POLE CLIMBING You can climb poles faster by holding [up], and
pressing jump [Ctrl] repeatedly. It may take some practice, but it's
worth it.
COOL JUMPS In many places you will see a big arc of candy. These are
usually set up so you can get them in one jump. There is one on the first
hill of the first level: try to pogo through all the ice cream bars there,
while simultaneously jumping over the Bloog.
HAVE FUN!
