PC controls

The official Roblox description lists the following PC inputs. Practice them in a small area before attempting a quick cleanup route.

  • E or Click — pick up or place a squishy.
  • F — drop the held squishy.
  • Number keys — switch squishies.
  • T — unlock the mouse.
  • G — use the equipped Magic Ability.
  • Hold Click — squish.

Controller controls

For controller play, the same official description lists RT for pickup or placement, LT for dropping, Y for upgrades, and holding LT for squishing. Use the current on-screen prompt if a control differs after an update.

  • RT — pick up or place.
  • LT — drop.
  • Y — open upgrades.
  • Hold LT — squish.

Use controls as a route tool

Pickup, placement, switching, and dropping work together. Before you enter a busy pile, decide which category you are carrying and where it is going. A deliberate drop or switch is better than walking a wrong item across the shop.

Magic is an input too, but it is not a substitute for reading the floor. Save G for a bottleneck that actually interrupts the route you are trying to repeat.

Use the control list as a short pre-run checklist. First, aim at a squishy and test E or Click. Next, pick up a second item only after you understand how to switch with the number keys. Finally, deliberately press F once in a safe area so dropping does not surprise you in a busy aisle. These small tests make it clear whether a missed placement came from the input, the item selection, or the shelf itself.

T is useful when you need to interact with menus instead of moving through the shop. On controller, the same planning still applies: test RT for pickup and placement, LT for dropping, Y for the upgrade menu, and a held LT for squishing. If the live prompt ever disagrees with this reference, follow the live prompt and treat that change as the new baseline.
