There are 2 modes, you can switch between them in Settings:

You can control you train with arrows:
Left arrow: train turns left.
Right arrow: train turns right.
Like in real life, basically. Controlling a train with a steering wheel.

In this mode you can also control your train with a joystick (that's super fun btw, worth trying).


In this mode the train will follow your mouse pointer. Very easy!

In all modes:
Spacebar: boost.
Enter: open chat.
