edit by selmiak: In case you didn't know, this is a PS2 controller above.
This appears in the original txt FAQ file, but for the sake of completeness you can find the XBOX (360) and PC controls here too.
These are not in the original file by Mike Penance. You are welcome!

really proceed easily and flawless within the game!
