Controls

The **controls** of Deeeep.io is simple and relatively easy to master. This page will list out all the controls and hotkeys that can be used in different platforms of the game. The bottom of the page will also list out the slash commands of Deeeep.io (yea, there are these kind of things in the game) and their functions.

## Controls in Different Platforms

The **controls** of Deeeep.io differs according to the platforms it is played in.

* PC (Desktop or Laptop)
* Mobile (iPad or Mobile Phone)
 Deeeep.io is made for PC, thus the best media to play the game is a PC with a Mouse. Here is the list of controls and hotkeys for Deeeep.io Snow and Below Beta, 2022 if you are playing on a PC.

* Your animal follows your **mouse cursor** around.
* Click on your **left mouse button** or **spacebar** to use a Normal Boost. Holding them for some time and release them to use a Charged Boost. While holding a charged boost, **right click** to cancel it (if using a touchpad just click the mouse button with another finger to do this). Note that worms do not have a boost and some animals (especially whales) do not have a regular boost, others don't have a charged boost. There are some animals that have 3 or even 4 boosts.
* **Scroll up** to zoom in, while **scroll down** to zoom out. You could also do this by clicking on **these buttons** (image).
* Click on the **Full Screen Button** (image) for a full screen view. Use the same button, or the **Esc** key to exit Full Screen.
* Press **N**, or click on the **Map Button** (image) for a bigger view of the mini-map.
* Press **H** to show/hide your Evolution Dialog. Click on the buttons **Hide** or **Show Evolution Dialog** if you don’t believe in hotkeys.
* You would notice that every animal on the Evolution Dialog has numbers on the top right corner of its image. Use the number keys **1** to **9** as hotkeys to evolve into the animal represented by those numbers. You could also click on the animals you want to evolve into if you are interested in wasting time.
* Click on the **Top of Leader Board** to toggle it.
* Press **I** to see your current animal’s info (which appears after you evolve into it) again. Unfortunately there are no mobile controls for it.
* Press **T** to open a team tab in the TFFA game mode, which shows every team (or swarm) nearby. You can also use this button (image) for the same purpose.
* Hold the **E** key to open a emote tab. Hover to the emote you want to use and click it to use it. Only works if an emote is equipped
* Press **Enter** to start typing. Type the message you want and press **Enter** again to send it to everyone in the map. Messages spawn in the location you send it and remains stationary, and despawns after a few seconds. In TFFA or PD, messages sent by the **Enter** key can only be seen by teammates, so use the **Shift** key along as well (**Shift** + **Enter)** if you want to have an argument with the other team.
* Press **M** to mute the chat. While muting, you are unable to see everyone’s messages, even your own messages, until you unmute with the **M** key again. You can also do it in the Chat section in settings, but I don’t see the point of it though.
* Click on the **Settings Button** (image) to customize Graphics, Chat and the Language.
 Although Deeeep.io runs relatively well in these platforms, there are a lot of flaws in the Mobile Version. Here is the list of controls and hotkeys for Deeeep.io Snow and Below Beta, 2022 if you are playing on an iPad or a Mobile Phone.

* Tap on the **Boost Button** (image) to do a Normal Boost. **Hold it down for some time and release it** to do a Charged Boost. While holding a charged boost, **drag your finger away from the Boost Button** to cancel the charge. (Wait, you can cancel boosts on mobile? Always has been…).
* Tap on **these buttons** to zoom in or out (images).
* Tap on the **Full Screen Button** to enter or exist a Full Screen View.
* Tap on the **Map Button** (image) for a bigger view of the mini-map.

* Tap on the **Message Button** (image) and click on the **Message Dialog** to start typing. Type the message you want, close your virtual keyboard and tap the **Send Button** to send it to everyone in the map. Messages spawn in the location you send it and remains stationary, and despawns after ? seconds. In TFFA or PD, you can only send messages to teammates since the (**Shift** + **Enter)** option is absent.
* Tap on the **Settings Button** (image) to customize Graphics, Controls and the Chat.
* Typing "/user" in chat will display to you and other players your username along with a button to add your account to their friends list.
