How to play Punch Kid

There is very little to learn before your first run. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. 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.
