BOB’S BASIC ABILITIES
RUNNING
When you press either the “Forward Movement Key” or
the “Backward Movement Key” you will by default run in
that particular direction. Your speed is faster than most
creatures on Earth, and in combination with your quick
turns, you are very agile compared to the clumsy humans.
Use your running ability for those sticky situations where
a quick escape is necessary.
WALKING
Pressing the “Forward” or “Backward Movement Keys” in combination with the “Walk Key” will
cause you to slowly creep forward at a much less hectic speed than your run. This is especially
useful for traversing small ledges where one false step will cause an untimely demise. Also
keep in mind that when you walk your footsteps will be silent, allowing you to sneak up on your
foes undetected.
CRAWLING
Pressing the “Forward” or “Backward Movement Keys”
in combination with the “Crawl/Crouch Key” will allow you
to drop down close to the floor and crawl around. This
ability is useful when trying to hide behind an object
without being seen or when trying to move underneath an
object which is too low to walk under.
GRABBING LEDGES
If you press the “Flap/Jump Key” while also pressing
the “Forward Movement Key” and get close to the edge of
a ledge, you will be able to grab hold of the ledge and
hang from it. Pressing the “Forward Movement Key” again
will pull you up to the next level. This is great for moving
up to another area which is normally too high to simply fly
up to. Pressing the “Backward Movement Key” will cause
you to drop back down to the next lower area.
While hanging on a ledge, you can use the “Left” and “Right Turn Keys” to move side to side
on the ledge in a hand over hand motion. This skill will undoubtedly be required during your
travels.
STRAFING
While running and turning is often sufficient for evading
most foes and simply traversing around the environment,
using the “Strafe Left” and “Strafe Right” keys will allow
you to move around the environment while still
maintaining focus on a desired target. This can be
especially useful while running around your enemies
while still keeping your eyes focused on them.
