Settings & Controls

You need to firstly know about the controls of this game to play it, and the settings are for how you want to play the game.

## Controls

Mouse can be used with literally EVERYTHING, but you just can't use it sometimes (for example: when your mouse is broken) or when you just don't want to use the mouse.

These are the keys used in the game;

* **1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 keys (interacting with eggs in order)**
* **0 key (cancel mutation/downgrade egg)**
* **Q key (using the Neurotoxin)**
* **E key (using the Bio-nuke)**
* **esc key (pause game)**
* **A and D/← and → keys (scroll around)**
* **S key (skip a dialogue)**
* **SPACEBAR key (fast forward time/see the next sentence of the intro dialogue)**
* **Ctrl key (cancel last unit added to the queue)**
* **Mouse left click (can interact everything)**
* **Mouse right click (get more information about the egg clicked on)**

### 1,2,3,4,5 and 0

Number keys (0 excluded) are used to build when fast-pressed, drag up when long-pressed. 1 will build/drag the Harvester, 2 for whatever 2nd egg is, 3 for whatever 3rd egg is, 4 for whatever 4th egg is and 5 for whatever 5th egg is. When an egg is dragged, Zero (0) key depends on what it does rather the egg is on mutation or not. If the egg is mutating, it will cancel the mutation and refund all the Nectar used to mutate the dragged egg. If the egg is not mutating, then the egg will be downgraded to whatever it was before, also giving half of the nectar used to mutate that (80% of the nectar if Tactical Upgrading upgrade is choosen in Silver Upgrades). There won't be any waiting period for downgrading or cancelling mutation when using 0 key.

### Q and E

Q key makes the Neurotoxin start to target your mouse when pressed only once, if pressed again it will discard. If it's pressed double times in a row, it will automatically target enemy minions (?). If there are no enemy minions (other than Harvesters), it will warn "NO VALUABLE TARGET" and not shoot it, if the Neurotoxin is on cooldown, then it'll warn "NOT READY YET", and "NOT ENOUGH NECTAR" when you have less than 15 Nectars, since you need fifteen nectars to shoot the Neurotoxin. E key is similar to Q, but instead it controls the Bio-Nuke (the differece is you don't need any nectar to shoot it).

### Esc (escape) Key

The game will automatically pause. Normally you need to click on Settings at the right top bottom of the screen to pause the game by using Mouse Left Click, but game will be paused without needing to click it by using Esc.

### A and D/← and → keys

You can scroll around the battlefield by dragging the screen with Mouse Left Click or A and D/← and → keys.

### S key

When S is pressed while there is a dialogue, the dialogue will be skipped, hence making the Red/Green Queen say her last sentence.

This key also has a secret ability of dragging an egg down when pressed on, while the egg is dragged up.

### Ctrl key

It cancels the last minion on building queue and refund the nectar that it used to spawn.
