SETTINGS BETA

AUTO: the handheld on a phone or tablet (with a controller pressed, the game fills the screen; touch it for the buttons again), the whole window with a mouse. SIDEWAYS: a phone on its side shows just the screen and the buttons (PLAIN) or the handheld (HANDHELD); the switch at the top right does it too. SHARP: whole-number pixel steps (crisp, may leave a border). FILL: as big as the window allows. WIDESCREEN AUTO: on a computer, a wide window shows more of each level, up to 32:9, never stretched; OFF keeps the classic 320 by 200 (the handheld always does). Kept in this browser.

HOW TO PLAY

MOVE

The D-pad, the arrow keys or W A S D, or a controller's stick.

A

Jump. Hold it to jump higher. Space or Z on a keyboard; the bottom button on a controller.

B

Swing the baton. Hold it, then let go, to throw a note. X on a keyboard; the right button on a controller.

C

Dash, once you have QUICK KEYS. C on a keyboard; the left or top button, or a bumper, on a controller.

DOWN

On a thin shelf: drop through it.

UP

Open a door at the end of a level.

START

Pause: the codex, the music, the codes and the map. Enter on a keyboard.

BATTLE MODE online (GAME MODES, BATTLE): one device hosts and runs the match; friends join with its 6-letter code or its link (SHARE copies it while you host). In the lobby the host can remove anyone who joins (A on their seat). Joining keeps a small random tag for that game in this browser for a day, so a host who removed you knows this browser again. Like any game played directly between browsers, players in one game can see each other's internet address. Some strict networks (school or office) block direct connections.

It saves at the coffee mugs, in this browser, in one of three files. On a phone, turn it sideways for a bigger screen, or add it to your home screen to play full screen.
