User guide
Adding the games
To use the integrated downloader just select "+ More" after starting Commander Genius. Depending on the mirror the download sometimes takes up to ~30 seconds. If it still fails, just try again or download the games manually.
If the integrated downloader causes issues, or if one just wants to keep the Switch offline, the shareware titles can also be downloaded here and extracted to /switch/CommanderGenius/games/ on the SD card.
Note: Besides the shareware episodes, Commander Genius also supports the commercial Commander Keen titles.
Co-op
For coop scrolling will be locked to one of the players, so you have to stay reasonably close.
But choosing a higher resolution helps with this, as it expands the visible area of the level.
Controls
The controls can be remapped.
D-Pad or Left Stick - Walking directions
A - Jump
B - Run
X - Pogo
Y - Shoot
Plus - Back/Menu
Minus - Status
R - Camlead (Multiplayer)
L - Help
