Agents away!\r\n\r\n..MULTIPLAYER..\r\n\r\nWhen playing with 2 or more characters and one character gets hit by the enemies, you can \"save\" him by shooting the enemy off him, kind of inspired by L4D...\r\n\r\n..CONTROLS..\r\n\r\nEach characters controls can be customized on the main menu by clicking the text across his portrait, if a key is not being used it will have \"unused\" as the binding. The keys are as follows as they appear in game:\r\n\r\nUP - up movement\r\nDOWN - down movement\r\nLEFT - left movement\r\nRIGHT - right movement\r\nSHOOT - shoots current weapon\r\nWEAPON SWAP - cycles to next available weapon\r\n\r\nF2 will restart the game.\r\n\r\nALT + ENTER will go fullscreen\r\n\r\n..WANT MORE\/UPDATES?..\r\n\r\nFollow me on twitter for updates to the game! I will do my best to put up a post competition build around work in the next few days that addresses a few issues, follow me on twitter and I will post it there or on my website.\r\n\r\n@farmergnome or http:\/\/www.farmergnome.com\r\n\r\nEnjoy.<\/p>","title":"Undercolor Agents"}
