Someones creation said to "turn off gravity lensing"
Any idea how to do so?

Hello again, thinking of making a steam guide compiling all the information I've learnt so far. Can I request your permission to copy paste these controls into it? No worries if not :p4g_love:

These controls come from the README.md file distributed with the game. So we're the ones that wrote it, and of course you can use it in your guide
