Player 1 typically uses WASD keysPlayer 2 typically uses the arrow keysSome games use number keys, mouse, or other key combinations — always check the in-game controls screen or the game description On a tablet, some 2 player games use split-screen touch zones so each player gets half the screen — but not all 2 player games support touch.
