Expected

Users often look at a game and immediately don't know how to control it. Many miss the little Controls menu below the game.

Let's add some explicit text below with a summary of controls.

Screenshot of the game with gray text below it: "WASD or arrow keys move; Z or Enter to select; B to cancel"

The tricky thing here is that I want people to still know that Controls is a menu. I'm not sure how to visually indicate that... Maybe putting the controls text above the menu, and/or giving them a (X) close thing?

Yeah I don't know how to do this right. But Controls exists. Never mind.
