Player guide & controls
A reference for the Windows playtest of Mayo Gems. Controls apply to the game build, not to a browser game.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| A / D or arrows | Move left and right |
| Space / W / Up | Jump; hold for extra height |
| Controller stick + A | Move and jump (hardware testing pending) |
| Escape | Pause and open help |
Understand the core loop
1. Take the scenic route
Explore nine authored levels with optional ledges, moving platforms, springboards and three special stars per level.
2. A little help along the way
Checkpoints keep you moving. Pick up a magnet to gather nearby gems or a bubble for extra protection.
3. Make the parade sparkle
Collect blue gems, stomp slimes and reach the exit. Improve your stars and spend coins on a stronger kit.
Plan your next attempt
Check the path to a checkpoint before taking an optional ledge. Holding jump changes height, while magnets and bubbles help with collection and protection. A route that reaches the exit can be revisited for the three special stars.
When something goes wrong
Pause with Escape and check the help in your build. For a repeatable problem, note the build version, the level, the input device and the steps that led to it. Send those details through support and feedback.
Windows playtesting is ongoing. Controller and other device support should be checked against the specific build; a listed binding does not establish hardware compatibility. See current development information.
