World of Slime Controls and Settings Guide

World of Slime supports keyboard and mouse, Xbox and PlayStation controllers, and even touch controls on mobile. Getting comfortable with your chosen input method before diving into long sessions makes a meaningful difference to both quality of life and performance. This guide covers all the options.

Keyboard and Mouse Layout

The default keybinds are well-considered, but customisation is fully available. The most important keys to know are: movement via WASD, interact or confirm with E, capture throw with left mouse button, partner slime action with right mouse button, menu with Tab, and map with M. The partner slime whistle — calling your designated partner to your position — is on F by default. If you play with a partner slime constantly, rebinding F to something easier to reach is a common quality-of-life change.

Controller Layout

On Xbox and PlayStation controllers, the layout mirrors the keyboard logically: left stick moves, A/X confirms, B/Circle cancels, X/Square throws capture orbs, LB/L1 opens the menu, and RB/R1 triggers your partner slime’s special ability. The D-pad cycles through your active slime party, which is faster than opening the menu in combat. Full DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive trigger resistance are supported on PlayStation 5.

Graphics Settings Explained

World of Slime is visually polished and moderately demanding. On a mid-range PC, start with the High preset and adjust from there. The most impactful settings for framerate are shadow quality, particle density, and draw distance. If you are experiencing stutter on a lower-end machine, reducing shadow quality from High to Medium typically yields 15-20 percent more fps with minimal visual downgrade. Particle density primarily affects areas with water and slime combat effects.

Quality-of-Life Settings

Several toggles in the settings menu are easy to overlook but significantly improve daily play. Enable auto-loot for synthesis ingredients — it saves significant menu time. Turn on damage numbers if you are still learning type matchups, as the visual number overlay makes resistances immediately obvious. The UI opacity slider is useful if you play on a monitor in a bright room. Camera sensitivity and invert options are available for both mouse and controller.

Audio and Display Settings

World of Slime includes a detailed audio mixer allowing you to adjust music, dialogue, environmental sounds, and UI feedback independently. If you use voice chat in co-op, the mic input level and push-to-talk key are configurable separately from game audio. On the display side, the fullscreen borderless option is recommended for players who alt-tab frequently, as it eliminates the transition delay when switching windows. V-sync can be enabled to prevent screen tearing, though it adds a small input lag that competitive PvP players may notice.

Advanced Keybinding Tips

For players who want maximum control efficiency, several advanced rebinds are worth considering. Remapping interact to a thumb mouse button eliminates the need to lift your hand from movement. Binding the partner whistle to a dedicated key rather than F makes it faster to call your partner during combat without fumbling. The game supports multiple keybind profiles, so you can save a setup for solo play and a separate one for co-op sessions where your needs differ. These profiles can be switched quickly from the settings menu without rebinding individual keys.

Mobile Controls

Touch controls on mobile are fully featured, with a virtual joystick, context-sensitive action buttons, and a dedicated button for partner slime abilities. The mobile version runs at lower default draw distance to maintain performance on handheld devices, but it supports cross-play and cross-progression with the PC version. If you switch between mobile and PC, your settings and progress sync automatically.
