You can work the whole thing out by playing it. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.

Why it is worth playing
What makes Laser Run stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. It earns the replay rather than demanding it.
