How to Play
Mastering Double Sticks movement
Learning how to play Double Sticks requires getting used to the split-keyboard layout. Player one uses WASD to navigate, while player two relies on the arrow keys. Keep your fingers loose. The Double Sticks controls feel a bit floaty, so tap the jump button instead of hammering it to avoid overshooting your landing.
Combat in Double Sticks
