Default controls
Fairtris 2 is controlled by the keyboard by default, and if a game controller is plugged in and set as main input device, also with it. All the game menus can be operated with both devices, while the game can only be played using the main input device, selected in the Game options menu.
Given that the keyboard and controller can be freely mapped, when discussing game screens, general names of the buttons will be given. For more information about device mappings, see Set up keyboard and Set up controller pages.
To navigate in the menu, use the ↑ ↓ keys to change the selected item and ← → to change the value of the current option. If you want to enter the selected option, press the Enter key. To go back to the previous menu, press the Escape key. When mapping keys and buttons, if you want to set the button unmapped, use the Backspace key to clear the mapping.
The actual game can be controlled with a keyboard or any USB controller for which separate mappings are provided. The basic set of buttons for this purpose is compatible with the buttons on the NES controller and can be freely mapped.
By default, the ← → ↓ keys are used to shift and drop pieces, and the X and C keys are used to rotate them. The Z key is used to pause the game, while the V key is used to show or hide the next piece. The controller buttons are mapped by default according to the general button layout standards, where the X and Y axes are responsible for moving and dropping pieces, and the first two buttons for rotating them.
If after connecting the controller for the first time, you cannot control the game, use the keyboard and go to the Game options screen, select the controller as the main input device, and then go to the Set up controller screen, where you can set the controller mapping your way.
In addition to the basic buttons, some keys have special functions assigned permanently and cannot be used when mapping. If you need help, press the F1 key. To toggle the exclusive video mode, press F11 or Alt+Enter. If the game is running in windowed mode, you can use the - and + keys to resize the window.
If the game is running in windowed mode, you can resize the window using the - and + keys. If the window is smaller than the screen, double-clicking the right mouse button activates desktop fullscreen on the current display. If you want toggle exclusive video mode, double-click the left mouse button in the center area of the window.
