GAME CONTROLS

By default Back Alley Brawl will use the keyboard to control the game character. The keyboard has been assigned actions in the following way:

Attacks
Attack1 - W key
Attack2 - A key
Attack3 - S key
Attack4 - Z key
Defense1 - Shift key

Moving
There are two modes of character movement in the game. If the characters are within three body lengths of each other they will lock onto each other and all movement will be in relation to the other character. Beyond the three body lengths distance all motions are in relation to the screen.
Forward - Up arrow
Backward - Down arrow
Left - Left Arrow
Right - Right arrow

To see the motions assigned to each action go to Character Moves.

If you are playing in two player mode you must add a gamepad or joystick to control the second player. ( see Assign a Gamepad section ) Every gamepad or joystick will map the Back Alley Brawl actions differently. The image below is our suggested configuration but you can use the Configure Gamepad under the Game Options to set your gamepad or joystick to your liking.
