WASD is what you'd expect
-
Spacebar jumps in normal gravity and off spider surfaces (hold to charge, release to jump) and thrusts upward in zero gravity
-
Ctrl thrusts downward in zero gravity and cancels a jump charge when not in zero gravity
-
Shift to boost in the direction you're pointing. Note that boosting will result in soft damage.
-
Shift will also land you on spider surfaces in zero g (blue crystal looking surfaces). If you’re over the surface and are looking at it while in range, you should see an arrow with “S” on it indicating you can land on the surface
-
Q and E roll left and right in zero gravity (you can also hold down Mouse4 and move your mouse horizontally)
-
C will slow you to a stop in zero g as you hold it down
-
Your loadout

1 selects the weapon you have in Slot 1
-
2 selects the weapon you have in Slot 2
-
3 selects the equipment you have in Slot 3
-
4 selects the equipment you have in Slot 4
-
5 selects the enemy flag, if you are holding it

~ (tilde) brings up the console. Type “help” (without quotes) to get a list of commands.
- When you have the enemy flag selected (hotkey: 5), LMB throws it (can be charged by holding)
- In challenge mode, Enter will reset you back to the start
Indoors (with gravity)
Indoors, Arms of Telos' controls are similar to other first person shooters. Jumping is executed on release and you can hold it for a larger jump. Shift will boost you in whatever direction you're facing -- this can also be used as a mid-air jump by boosting upward.
You can maintain speed as long as you don't turn too sharply -- doing so will make you lose traction.
Outdoors (zero gravity)
In zero gravity, there is no up or down -- players have full six degrees of freedom. Spacebar and Ctrl keys allow movement along this extra axis while Q and E let you roll to re-orient yourself.
Spider Surfaces
If you’re over the surface and are looking at it while in range, you should see an arrow with “S” on it indicating you can land on the surface -- press Shift and you'll automatically land. When you jump off a Spider Surface, you'll jump in the direction you're facing.
