Controls

How to walk, run, use things and switch tools with a keyboard, a touch screen or a gamepad.

Keyboard

  • WASD or the arrow keys walk; hold Shift to run.
  • E uses whatever is in front of you: talk, open the mailbox, swing a net, go through a door.
  • Hold Q to pull in things lying close by with your pollen basket.
  • 1 to 9 take out a tool (1 is empty hands); R picks the next tool and Shift+R the one before.
  • M is Mimic, once a friend has taught you that knack.
  • The mouse wheel zooms, Enter opens chat and Escape closes a window.

Touch

  • Put your thumb down anywhere and a stick appears under it, with a Run button beside it.
  • Tap a spot to walk there, tap a thing to use it, or hold on the ground to keep walking toward it.

Gamepad

  • Left stick walks; click it to switch auto-run; hold B or RB to run.
  • A uses or talks, hold X to gather, Y is Mimic.
  • LB is the next tool (hold it to choose one), the right stick zooms and Menu opens your menu.
  • On the D-pad: up for Pockets, right for Today's tasks, left for Places, down for What's on.

A legend of the buttons shows for a few seconds on your first visits, and every hint in town draws the right button for whatever you're playing with.
