Hi Spalls,

I copied down all the key bindings listed in the game.  All 41 of
them.  Surely enough to warrant a sheet!

I like the tutorial, but since I bounce back between games and don't
stick with playing just one I will have trouble remembering the keys
and instructions.  

Don't drop your tablet in the toilet! :-)

Thanks,
