Hold space, then press the arrow keys to build lines inside the field. Keep holding for slow (extra points) or release for fast. It works!

@SPJin
You're a liar, because the SPACE key is absolutely NOT the FIRE key. In fact, there apparently is no FIRE key, because I literally pressed every key on my keyboard, except for ESC and the Windows keys, and absolutely nothing happened. Except for using the S key to interrupt the demo, but other than that, absolutely nothing worked. And obviously, with the S key stopping the demo that meant that there is input being read by DOSBox through the browser, and also any other game I've tried has worked just fine. This one simply doesn't work, and it either needs to be fixed or taken down.

Apparently putting brackets around the key makes it invisible in here so that's helpful! LOL

What would the "Fire" key be on a 102 keyboard? I'll try downloaded in the DOSBox version—I must have taken an extra dos of Stupid Pills this AM.

I press all the key on my keyboard again and again but only the arrows works. Impossible to find how to play, no tutorial on youtube or another place. My computer is not so old, I've tried several browser. Disappointed a lot. :(
