Aura Kingdom can be played using a mouse and keyboard. This page introduces character movement, camera controls, targeting, and the default keybindings used throughout your adventure.
Mouse and Keyboard Controls
As you progress through the early stages of the game, tutorial screens and hints will introduce the basic controls. The controls listed below are the default keybindings and can be adjusted in the Keybinds menu.
Character Movement
You can move your character using either the keyboard or mouse. Use the WASD keys to move in any direction, or left-click a location on the ground to have your character move there.
Press Spacebar to jump. Press it again while airborne to perform a double jump.
While airborne, press R or quickly press W twice to begin gliding. Use the movement and camera controls to adjust your direction while gliding.
Camera Controls
You can rotate the camera using either the mouse or keyboard:
- Left mouse button: Hold and drag to rotate your character and the camera together.
- Right mouse button: Hold and drag to rotate the camera without changing the direction your character is facing.
- Q and E: Rotate your character and camera to the left or right.
- Mouse wheel: Scroll to zoom the camera in or out.
Target Selection
You can select a character, enemy, NPC, or object by moving the cursor over it and clicking the left mouse button.
Right-clicking a selected target performs an action based on the type of target:
- NPC: Start a conversation.
- Enemy: Begin auto-attacking.
- Object: Interact with the object.
