You can use 'x' for A button and 'c' for B button normally pressing 'f' should put the game in full screen but it might not work in all browsers. Pressing 'f3' with the game activated will switch between playdate and colored graphics. Progress is saved locally in an "indexed db" database from your browser.  You can also use an xbox controller to control the games if your browser (like chrome) supports this
