How to play Metalbot
There is very little to learn before your first run. The full control mapping is in the table below and takes a moment to skim. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Nothing is lost by trying something reckless once.
