Lugaru Readme
Controls:
Movement:
WASD = run/climb, tap W to line up with camera
mouse = look
space = jump (hold down longer to go higher and/or climb edges) (release and
hold space again to jump off walls)
shift = crouch/sneak/roll on ground, flip in air
release shift = if sneaking, start running animal-style
Combat:
Attacks:
(NOTE: for most of these moves you can just hold click and it will wait until
the enemy is in range to attack)
crouch+click = sweep (conscious oppenent) or finishing punch (unconscious or
dead opponent)
click = u-punch (or slash with knife) (or stomach punch when close)
run+click = spin kick (or kick enemy on the ground)
back+click = dodge backwards (especially useful vs. weapons)
space (while holding click and running) = rabbit kick (does serious damage if
you time it right, but hurts you a bit if you miss and is easy to counter)
space or click (while running animal style) = tackle/pounce
single click (from behind) = sneak attack
hold click (while jumping off wall) = wall kick
Weapons
e = sheathe/unsheathe
q = throw (while somewhat near to the enemy)
pick up (while near a knife)
drop (while crouching)
click = slice (stabs if you just countered an attack with the slice)
shift+click = stab enemy (after knocking over) or clean off knife in the
dirt/sand/snow
Reversals and Counter-Reversals:
-note about reversals: jamming on shift will not work, you cannot counter if
you are standing up from a crouch-
shift = (while opponent is attacking)reverse sweep, punch or rabbit kick
(while your attack is being reversed) recover from reversal
(while falling or being pulled down) land less painfully
(while getting up and pressing a direction) roll
release shift = (while opponent is spin-kicking)reverse enemy's spin kick
space = (while landing from being knocked over) land safely
Press space when dead to respawn faster
Tips:
-Wolves usually only pounce if you're running away, and they can't tackle you
if you crouch
-Crouch and jump to jump higher
-You can roll, handspring or flip over a (detached) weapon and hold 'q' to pick
it up
-It is possible to counter weapon attacks, but only if you are very close to
them
-If you slash somebody a few times, you can just wait a bit and they may bleed
to death
-Vary your attacks. If you use the same attack too many times in a row the
enemy is much more likely to see a pattern and counter it, even if you are
using the knife.
-Wounded enemies do not block as well (especially against moves like wall kicks
and rabbitkicks)
-Reversals are more simple to perform than they sound, just tap shift if you
are attacked ( on hard mode you have to be facing the enemy)
-Keep both feet on the ground while fighting; if you try and jump around the
enemy can pull you out of the air
-Throwing the knife in the air is inaccurate but if you do it quickly it is
harder for the enemy to dodge
-Use the finishing punch to make sure unconscious opponents stay down, and to
knock them into other enemies
-You can get a KO much more quickly by attacking several times in quick
succession. Just sitting back and attacking occasionally, can take much
longer.
-It is very difficult to win using only reversals
-Use the sneak attack whenever possible - don't let enemies run for help
- Don't try and perform reversals when fighting against more than one enemy,
use dodges instead. You can be hit by a second enemy while throwing the first.
- Reversals do significantly more damage than the attack itself
- You should always try to get out of a reversal, press shift as soon as you
see that your attack failed
- Jump on an unconscious rabbit a few times, finishing-punch it, or stab it if
you want to make sure it will never get back up, or just leave it alone because
it may not recover consciousness for a few minutes
- Don't stay crouched unnecessarily or the enemies will kick you in the head
-You recover from damage faster when standing still
-Tap forwards to face in the same direction as the camera
Hard mode only:
-You can only counter attacks from enemies in front of you
-Keep in mind that you have the same amount of health as anyone else, don't
just barge into fights.
