Scream Jam Controls

Base Roblox Movement

On PC, WASD handles movement, Space jumps, and Shift toggles sprint depending on the Roblox shift-lock setting. Mouse movement controls the camera; right-click or Shift-lock toggles camera lock for precise turning during chases. E or the proximity prompt key interacts with objectives, doors, and pickups when the UI indicator appears.

Mobile players use the virtual joystick for movement, tap buttons for jump and interact, and swipe to rotate the camera. Tablet players with keyboards can use PC bindings if Roblox detects the input device.

• W/A/S/D — Move forward, left, backward, right
• Space — Jump
• Shift — Sprint (when shift-lock enabled)
• E — Interact with objectives and items
• Mouse — Camera rotation
• Left Click — Primary action (character-dependent)

Killer Ability Controls

Each killer maps abilities to number keys and Q. KillerKyle uses Q for projectile detonation and numbered keys for chase tools. Fencer relies on lunge and parry windows tied to mouse clicks and Q. ClawsGuy emphasizes melee swipes with extended range on primary click. Frapers—the current meta pick—uses mobility cooldowns on Q with trap placement on secondary keys.

Stalker, the stealth-focused killer, binds invisibility or ambush triggers to Q with detection abilities on E. Practice each killer in private servers before ranked queues because mistimed ability presses waste entire cooldown cycles.

Survivor Ability Controls

Pancho, the default survivor, uses straightforward interact and sprint patterns without complex ability bars. Bloxxer and MrRobot add utility cooldowns on Q and F. Clockwork—the support sentinel—places teapots with Q, triggers explosions with a follow-up key, and applies green slow or red speed buffs through aimed projectiles.

Clockwork players should bind ability keys comfortably before learning teapot positioning. Missing a buff throw costs your team the resistance and status immunity that makes Clockwork S-tier in current meta.

Camera and Settings Tips

Enable shift-lock for killer mains who need consistent chase angles. Survivors benefit from maximum camera zoom-out allowed by Roblox to spot approaching killers earlier. Headphones are not a control binding, but audio cues for footsteps and ability wind-ups are as important as key presses in Scream Jam.

Lower graphics settings reduce input lag on low-end devices. Frame drops during team fights cause missed parries and failed escapes—stability matters more than visual fidelity during competitive sessions.
