  • The AUX key is used to focus the cursor on your units when on the map and to toggle the Growth Rate display on the Unit Info Menu.

  • Screenshots are saved as .bmp files if the ` key was pressed or .png files if F12 was pressed. Screenshots are saved within the game folder.

  • You can soft reset by holding Select, Back, and Start.

  • You can rebind which key on your keyboard does what in the Options > Controls menu in-game. Controller button remapping has not been implemented yet, although you can use an input remapper to bind controller input to keyboard keys as a workaround.

Known Common Issues

  • Windows Defender and other common anti-virus programs do not like LT-Maker games. Just choose to run the game anyway and/or make it an exception for Windows Defender.

  • The EXP gain SFX may sound weird on some computers. (The pitch is sound card dependent.) To adjust this, go into saves/config.ini. Change sound_buffer_size to a small even number until the SFX sounds right. Make sure to close the game while editing these settings, and to save the file after editing it.

Miscellaneous Tips

  • You can change the screen size in-game through: Extras > Options > Config > Screen Size

    • The full-screen option is wonky and not recommended.

  • You can toggle mouse controls in-game through: Extras > Options > Config > Mouse
