Game Play
Game difficulty
Your game difficulty is determined by the number of lives you begin with.
Easy: 5 lives
Normal: 3 lives
Hard: 2 lives
You can choose the difficulty level at the start of each new session.
Basic rules
Core actions
Fighting
You use a sword to fight.
Most enemies fall within a stroke of a sword, but will try to attack beforehand.
Be sure to attack your foes before they have a chance.
Some enemies move in a set pattern while others actively chase you when you’re in their range.
Enemies that move in a pattern can be taken from behind.
For enemies that chase, let them come to you before attacking them.
Picking objects up
You can change the size of objects by using you magic powers. The objects you lift, such as boxes, can then be carried.
Pick up objects.
While they’re on hand, they can be moved around.
Put them down by tossing them.
While you’re holding an item, you cannot attack.
You can resize objects while tossing them, which can spell death for both your enemies or you, depending on where it lands.
Moving forward
Make your way to the path at the end of the level.
Once the next level loads, you can re-enter the previous level by going back the way you came in.
Going back to the previous path will reload the previous level with all the monsters resurrected.
There is usually no need to do this, as back tracking is not a big part of this game.
You cannot carry things from one level to another.
Lives
The number of lives you begin with depends on your difficulty level.
Each time an enemy or hazard harms you, you lose a life.
Each time you enter a level after having lost a life, you retain the number of lives you’ve had until that point.
Lose all your lives and the game ends.
Press the R key to restore your lives.
You can also choose to be reckless and lose all your lives at the start of the new level so you can try again with a full set of lives.
You can replenish your lives by picking up the hearts dropped by the monsters.
Collecting life potions not only restores your lives but also gives you an extra one.
Life potions are usually located in pots or treasure chests in out of the way places in the level.
Level features
Platforms
Platforms not only include actual wooden platforms but also moving metal ones, as well as objects like boxes.
Use platforms to climb up or down parts of the level.
Of course, sometimes, you need a little something to reach platforms that are much higher up.
Boxes
Boxes can be used as extensions to platforms. You can use them as stepping stones to reach a platform you won’t be able to reach otherwise.
Use your magic to change their sizes.
You can carry them around in case you need to bring them somewhere.
Roses
Roses act as a barrier to you.
To get past them, use your sword.
Shallow water
Shallow water is a largely cosmetic part of the level, but one that can be mistaken for pools of acid.
They can also lead to deeper water.
Puzzles
Puzzles comprise of a gate and a button.
Look for a button and step on it, it will activate the gate.
Buttons
Most buttons act as part of puzzles involving gates.
You can step on them yourself or leave them pressed using a box.
Some buttons activate a trap. Avoiding it is the key to completing particularly difficult levels
Collapsing platforms
These appear as metallic hinges very similar to the moving platforms.
You can only step on them for a short time before they split apart.
They will come back together a short while after you fall off from them.
Hazards
Spikes
Spikes appear in pits and ledges.
You lose a life each time you touch them.
Acid
Acid pools resemble shallow water but cause damage.
They can be distinguished by the bubbles that pop out.
Hop over them to avoid falling in.
Deep water
You do not lose health in deep water right away.
Get yourself out of deep water before it causes you damage.
Shooters
Shooters fire bullets at you. Try not to get hit by them.
These often (but not always) come in pairs, which shoot in an alternating pattern.
When the bottom one shoots, jump; when the top one shoots, stay down.
Move past the shooters as quickly as you can.
Try to outrun the shots if you must through a room with shooters.
Levels
Levels are unlocked sequentially.
To load a new level, enter the portal somewhere to the right of the current level.
To load the previous level, enter the portal you came in from the left.
Each time you reload the game, you have the option to reload the latest level you’ve reached. You can also start a new game.
