Basic Information

A list of basic controls and some tips for those new to the game.

Default Controls:
B jumps - If pressed while ducking, goes into a morph ball-like form that always moves until you jump again.
Y fires your primary weapon - Holding it will rapid-fire, which can be disabled in the options menu.
A or R uses a smart bomb (called "Line" in the game's options menu) - Sends out two shockwave lines from either side of you that deal a large amount of damage, enough to instantly kill most of the weaker enemies in the game.
X or L fires a taser beam - Can be aimed using the d-pad left or right.

Weapons:
Weapons can be upgraded a number of times based on how many of the same color you collect, and weapon strength persists even if you pick up a different weapon. Dying loses a level of strength.

Red: Spread Shot
Starter weapon. Fires faster if you spam the fire button rather than hold it.

Level 1 - Fires a bullet straight forward.
Level 2 - Fires three lines of bullets in a cone.
Level 3 - Fires six lines of bullets in a cone, split into three waves of two bullets each.
Level 4 - Fires nine lines of bullets in a cone, split into one wave of three bullets, two waves of two bullets each, and two waves of one bullet each.
Level 5 - Fires thirteen lines of bullets in a cone, split into three waves of three bullets each and two waves of two bullets each.

Blue: Laser Shot
Rapid-fires very very quickly, but individual shot damage is somewhat low.

Level 1- Fires a laser shot straight forward.
Level 2 - Fires a barrage of one large and two small laser shots straight forward.
Level 3 - Fires a barrage of three large laser shots straight forward.
Level 4 - Fires a barrage of three large and two small laser shots straight forward.

Yellow: Rebound Shot
Shots split-rebound off of walls at opposite angles and deal less damage than the direct shot.

Level 1 - Medium orbs split into small orbs that do not bounce off of walls.
Level 2 - Medium orbs split into small orbs that bounce once.
Level 3 - Large orbs split into medium orbs that bounce twice.
Level 4 - Large orbs split into medium orbs that then split into small orbs that bounce twice.

Pickups:
Diamond: Adds 100 points to your score. [Orange gem that flashes]
Life: Gives you a 1up and adds 500 points to your score. [Miniature Turrican]
Smart Bomb: Gives you an extra smart bomb. Despite the GUI only displaying 3, you can hold more. [Glowing blue pickup box]
Power Up: Restores all your health. [Glowing heart pickup box]
Shield: Gives you invulnerability for a short time. [Glowing green pickup box]

Doing the wall clip quickly

(This guide assumes you know how to do wall clips already).

This is a spur of the moment video, but it may help explain how to do the wall clip fast. Some runners already do this (or use similar strategies) but after I figured out how to get through walls faster, I figured a quick video wouldn't hurt. I also used handcam to show how it's done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USPEnrG4pzQ
