How to play

Keyboard:

• Left and Right: move, advance or retreat in a fight
• Up: jump, climb up, block an attack
• Down: crouch, crawl, climb down, sheathe the sword
• Shift: drink a potion, grab an edge, strike with the sword
• Space: show the remaining time
• Enter: continue the game

Controller: stick or D-pad to move, A to jump, B to drink or strike, X to show the time (twice to restart the level), and Minus and Plus for the previous and next level.

On a phone, use landscape mode and a single tab. Touch controls use tap and drag areas on the screen. Adding the page to the home screen runs it full screen.
