Getting Started

01

Launch the Game

Click the Play Now button on the homepage. The game loads directly in your browser — no plugins, no downloads, no account needed.

02

Select Your Starting Level

From the main menu, choose to start from Level 1 or continue from a saved checkpoint if one exists in your browser storage.

03

Learn the Basics

The first two levels act as a tutorial — they introduce movement, jumping, and the attack system without overwhelming you with enemies.

04

Progress Through Worlds

Complete all enemies or reach the exit marker to advance to the next stage. Health pickups and checkpoints appear throughout each level.

05

Face the Boss

Every world ends with a boss encounter. Study attack patterns, dodge at the right moment, and exploit openings to deal damage.

Core Mechanics

⚔️

Combo System

Chaining consecutive attacks without taking damage builds your combo multiplier. Higher combos award bonus points and occasionally drop extra health orbs.

💨

Wall Jump

Jump toward a wall and press jump again to push off it. Wall jumping lets you reach elevated platforms and secret areas not accessible by normal jumping.

🌀

Spin Dash

Hold down and press attack to charge a spin dash. Release to blast forward at high speed, damaging any enemies in your path and breaking certain obstacles.

Power-Ups

Glowing orbs scattered throughout levels grant temporary boosts: speed increase, invincibility frames, double damage, or health restoration.

Pro Tips

🎯

Aim for Aerial Attacks

Jumping on top of enemies deals instant kills and preserves your combo. Prioritise aerial approaches over ground-level slashing.

🔍

Explore Every Corner

Hidden rooms contain bonus health, extra lives, and secret power-ups. Look for faint cracks in walls and unusual platform arrangements.

⏱️

Watch Enemy Patterns

Every enemy type has a predictable attack cycle. Spend a moment observing before engaging to find the safest window to strike.

💾

Use Checkpoints Wisely

Checkpoints save your position mid-level. If you're low on health before a checkpoint, try dying intentionally to restart from it with a fresh life bar.

🏃

Speed Is Your Friend

In many sections, moving quickly past enemy clusters is safer than fighting through them. Learn when to slash and when to sprint.

🧠

Memorise Boss Phases

Bosses have multiple attack phases. Each phase introduces new move sets. Identify the transition moments to prepare your positioning in advance.
