Basics

Controls

To Move use W A S D. Hold right click to move the camera, mouse wheel to zoom in and out. The Tab key toggles first person and top down mode.

To Jump, hold the space bar and you will crouch. A jump targeting arrow will appear. The longer you crouch, the more your jump power charges up. If the Jump arrow is blue it means that spot is still to far to jump to, charge your jump power more. If it is red, that spot can not be jumped to. If it is green when you release the space bar you will jump to that spot.

Click on a person to see their nametag. Click on a block to see its name. Clicking on a spot will also rotate you to look in that direction.

Press Enter to focus the chat window, or click on the text input box. Type what you want to say and press enter again to say it. You can change if the chat stays focused after talking or returns to movement in the options. By default, chat does not stay focused. Normal chats can be heard in an area as large as a Cell, but you can shout to all visible cells by adding a ! at the end of your chat.

Starting Out

You can change your colors by standing in a shrine you own, or a shrine in Safe Castle, and clicking the "Set Colors" in the shrine menu.

You can teleport back to Safe Castle with the console command SAFE, and to your home shrine with HOME.

To get ticket items talk to the Robot in the Arcade. Its the blue building in Safe Castle with the red roof. You can buy tickets on the 8bit.neverdaunt.com website. Nothing you buy with tickets gives any kind of advantage in gameplay.

You will start out with 15 Tokens, that's enough for one powerup (4tokens) and one bomb (10tokens). Make sure you know how to use the bomb or you might end up blowing yourself up. Drop tokens onto Vending Machines to use them. It will automatically put the full amount in.

You can only have one powerup at a time, they last until you die. If your new to N8* you should get the MegaJump powerup, its useful and lots of fun jumping through the sky.

Health and Death

You start out with 100hp. When your hp gets to 0, you die, a grave stone may appear where you were standing and you get teleported back to your Home or to Safe Castle, powerupless and with your health restored. You can tell how much hp you have by the tiny red bar next to the chat window.
