Once the game starts, press Escape for the menu. Keyboard controls are listed there.

Arrows or 'WASD' for movement, Control for Sword, Shift to Use Item, and Space to Activate stuff. 

Saving is disabled for this game on Itch.io (it crashes the game).

Changes from the tutorial include mobile support with onscreen controls (its fun, buttons change based on what they do). Hit enemies with pots or rocks. Hearts. The boulder has permanence, and a few other quality of life/gameplay enhancements.

Fun to build, though the tutorials altogether are long. Having a coding background is very helpful.
