joshua1985: Am I they only person, who cannot find out which button activates the Special ability?

I have looked everywhere, but have yet to find a manual or description about which buttons to use when playing the game. Generally It's been pretty intuitive with WASD controls and space to shoot. By using the buttionmashing tecnique I also found that M swaps the Special skill with the AI character if playing one player.

But where oh where do I press to activate the special? Please tell me as the game is otherwise nearly unplayable.

korell: When you load up the game, go to the Options menu and select Joystick Bindings. All of the keys are then displayed.

For player 1 you have the following:

Right: D
Left: A
Up: W
Down: S
Fire: Space
Special: B
Cycle: N
Switch: M
Pause: P
Back: Escape
