If you use a Vive headset and Valve Index controllers, you can use the launch option: "-platform index" without the quotes. No longer needed.

Our game supports both native Oculus and SteamVR apps. If you have an Oculus and want, for some reason, to use the SteamVR app, then the Oculus app must not be installed.

We recommend using thumbstick click to jump. If you use the Valve Index controllers, both thumbstick click and touchpad press work. For Windows Mixed Reality players, if your thumbstick click opens a dashboard, please select the WMR icon and set "Use joystick press to open Steam VR dashboard" to off. You can change jump styles in our options menu.

Please bear with us, more keys are being requested. Thank you.

• You can now hold objects with grip or trigger, formerly was just trigger.
