Ok, I didn’t update Monday because i didn’t have access to a computer, but yesterday was just moronic…

 Anyway, today I’m going to go fully over the controls of the whole game.  I may detail a little tutorial video at one stage, because I’ll need instructions in-game, but I’m leaving that for now.

Firstly, basic movement, as done by the WASD keys, AD for left and right, S for duck, W for jump.  Currently you can only single jumo, but I may later implement in the game (i.e. after the demo) a double jump in order to be able to use the aerial sword attacks more freely.

Secondly, sword attacks, these are controlled by clicking at certain point on the screen, for example, clicking at the point up and infront of link will cause him to do an uppercut, wheras directly in front will cause him to do a stab.  You can attack while on the ground, crouching, in the air, or while running.

Now for the items.  For the Arrows, Boomerang and Ball and Chain, once you bring them out with the respecting number key, all you need to do is point the mouse where you want them to go (a crosshair will appear) and click.  For bombs, you bring them out with the 2 key, to throw them, click in front of link, to just drop them, click link.  You can also put them out by pressing the spacebar and away again by pressing the space bar again.  Finally, once activated, the spinner travels forwards of its own accord, jumping lets you attack and there’s several other things you do while on the spinner too….
