Alternate name: How to play instructions

Help screens or overlayed cue sheets that simply list the controls can also be considered as some minimalistic tutorials, but should be noted in the comments on their limited scope.

This can also be part of the actual game or separate training mode which likely has more intimate guiding on how things work.
