Some basic control stuff
press [esc] to open the pause menu

• hit options to change mouse sensitivity, graphics, and audio settings
  
• you can view the control schematic here too

if you're using keyboard/mouse, and the mouse is too slow you can also use the arrow keys to move the position of tools + spawners and turn the meat grinder or lazy susan (level select)

on keyboard, 1234 qwer asdf zxcv all spawn food

moving where food drops
press and hold the food's button until a line appears, then you can move it with the mouse or arrows if youre on keyboard, or the analog stick if youre using a controller

changing magnet height
magnet height is zoom-dependent, so if you zoom in, the magnet will be lower down, and vice versa
magnet strength
if you use a controller, the magnet strength increases as you pull the trigger down more. if you are using keyboard/mouse, then you can tap the left mouse if you just want to nudge something and not have it fly away
granular magnet positioning
you can precisely control where the magnet is if you use it while the Camera Tool is active, itll be right where the crosshairs are in "pivot" mode and right in front of you in "fly mode"

tilting stage
Can do this in popcorn, boba tea, egg maze.
On keyboard/mouse, hold shift and move the mouse, on controller use left analog stick

zooming
On controller just use right analog stick
On keyboard/mouse, can use scroll wheel or just move the mouse backwards
if you zoom out all the way, you leave the scene and go to level select

Rhythm in Nour builds the spell meter, is used to perform combos, and can change the way other features behave


The rhythm system in Nour tracks the relative time between taps.

A whole note

Also whole note even tho you the first press wasn't on the downbeat

rhythmic play can make other stuff behave differently
Hammer hits 1 whole note apart will do a super smash

• Doing a streak of 1/4 notes will increase the number of layers the shape has
  
• Doing a streak of 1/8 notes will make the shape expand

first do these things

1. fill the meter
   
2. select a spell (the symbol will appear in the circle)

now you can do the single-food version of the spell

1. do a whole note
   
2. another ring will appear, when it overlaps, spawn another food (it'll overlap a whole note later)
   
3. profit, that food will have an effect applied to it

It's the same button to cast a spell and dispel, here's how to do the one you want:
a spell will be cast if both are true

• meter is full
  
• there's a spell selected

otherwise, holding down the spell trigger until the rainbow radiates out will trigger a dispel

freeze the food
set all the food on fire
the food assumes a kind of geometric configuration

• you can control the shape of this by doing streaks of quarter notes (increase the # of layers) and eighth notes (make the shape expand)

toggle gravity
food dances to the music

• if you apply this to a food more than once it'll dance harder

alternate between making the food huge and tiny
cinematic music video type mode that follows a random food

• you can still spawn food in this mode
  
• firing this spell again while it's already active will switch the camera
  
• if you wanna get out of this mode without dispelling all of the active effects in the scene you can just open the tool camera and close it

slows time and removes active spell + combo effects

• also resets the bottle bowling pins in Ramune
  
• also resets any key changes you did via a combo
  

You can also use arrow keys to move tools

chop the food
smush the food

• if you hit something on a whole note you can do a super smash

color the food

• mod (shift or L1 on controller) cycles the color
  
• the colors mix together if you dye a food with different color drops

make the food tiny or huge

• mod (shift or L1 on controller) cycles between big/small/normal size

salt and pepper

• mod (shift or L1 on controller) cycles between salt and pepper

set the food on fire
get close up or fly around the level

• mod (shift or L1 on controller) cycles the camera mode, fly camera mode is like FPS
  
• the magnet still works and makes you go fast
  
• you can use spells in this mode
  
• if you have any jellyfish foods unlocked, you can spawn food while using the camera

Use your computer/external mic to play with your food!
Nour uses the microphone like Astros playroom does.

Blow into the mic to create a gust of wind!

Slurping, inhalation, and even vacuum sounds will suck food towards you!

Sing in tune with the background music to get some golden particles that levitate your food. This also seems to summon the jellyfish.

Accidentally bump into a table? Someone slammed a door? The food will jump up in surprise!

• The Pause Menu’s audio settings have a mic sensitivity slider.
  
• Check your system’s input settings, those might be set really high or low.
  
• For the slurping specifically, it reacts to deep breaths in, sniffs, any mouth sound that is kinda like a slurp, if you're streaming and happen to be laughing, snorting, (maybe eating on cam) a lot, mute the mic if you want a break from breaking the 4th wall.
