Pro Control Tips
- Right Mouse is your discipline tool — push ticket cheaters, drunks, and vandals out of the park for a cash bonus each.
- Hold the hammer — tap-clicking repair does not work; it's a hold action.
- Use umbrellas to bounce high and spot troublemakers from above.
- In co-op (1.0), the trumpet, megaphone, and walkie-talkie are extra communication tools — the walkie-talkie lets you chat from anywhere on the map.
Console Controls (PS5 / Xbox Series X|S)
The console release (July 31, 2026) uses a native gamepad scheme: left stick to move, right stick camera, face buttons for interact/jump/ragdoll, triggers for build and tablet, and the same right-stick-push for troublemakers. Exact bindings are shown in the in-game control menu on each console.
