How to play Police
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.

|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
