Sledding Game Controls and Input Settings

The recorded PC bindings use WASD for movement, Space to jump, Left Shift to toggle the sled and F to interact. Check the game’s current input settings for your own mappings. Context matters: an input used for snow, a menu or building may do something different in another state.

Recorded PC keyboard and controller mappings

Recorded input-setting fields. Remapped controls and your current on-screen prompts take precedence; controller entries not documented by this source are left explicit.

On a small screen, scroll the table sideways to see every column.

The original author also records flight-state inputs: keyboard Space/Left Ctrl for up/down, X to cancel and Q to lock; controller RT/LT for up/down and right-stick click for cancel/lock. These fields do not establish that ordinary unmodified play always provides a free-flight mode.

Snowball interactions depend on context. The September update allows snow pickup in Peaceful mode.

Camera and movement inversion

The September update adds four invert options in Settings: camera horizontal, camera vertical, movement horizontal and movement vertical. Choose the axis you mean rather than changing all four together.

The same update reduces snowball charge time and allows snow pickup in Peaceful mode. Older videos showing a blocked snow pickup or a different charge time may therefore describe a previous build.

Find the mappings that apply to you

  1. Open the game’s input settings

    Volx’s record shows the controls tab and keybind-edit entry in Settings. Read the current action names and prompts on your build.

  2. Record before changing

    Keep the original mapping for the action you want to edit. Change one binding and test that action in the correct gameplay context.

  3. Restore the recorded mapping if needed

    Re-enter the previous binding if the change does not suit you. This source does not prove a current “restore all defaults” button, so no such button is assumed.

Use the microphone guide for mute versus input problems, and racing for controls used during a run.
