This is an action RPG that is set in a palace. Your goal is to destroy the object that makes intergalactic space travel possible so that an intergalactic empire will cease to EVER exist. The palace has about a 12 locations. This
game features:
your character having two outfits, you gain the other later on

SIDE and OVERHEAD view game play

This game has some minor updates.
large characters

a very nice ending

a lot of challenge

HOW TO PLAY:

On the top of the screen are indicators. From left to right: your sword power level(displayed as a circle), your spell strength(also displayed as a circle), your life (displayed as candles), and your shield(displayed as blue circles).

These indicators will appear as you gain the items that you can find. Your swords power level indicates how well you can cut through an enemy's protection field. The higher your sword's power level, the stronger the protection field that you can cut through. You will gain the ability to cast spells later on. As you get hit, the candles that indicate your life become unlit. You will die when your are injured beyond your life. Your shield protects from from projectiles. If your are hit by a projectile without a shield, or if all of your shield is gone, you will die. Sword power level, spell strength, and shield all recover over time. Your life does NOT recover over time. Only on walking over a blue swirl will your life be restored.

To load an old game, press <L> during the title screen and you can select your recorded game from the window that appears. To start a new game, press <ENTER> at the title screen. To save your game, walk over a red swirl and you can name your recorded game. You can also determine where you want it to be saved. KEEP THE GAME IN SMALL SCREEN MODE WHEN SAVING AND LOAD, THE SYSTEM ACTS STUPID WILL IT IS IN FULL SCREEN MODE. PRESS <Alt> and <ENTER> TO GO FROM FULL SCREEN MODE AND SMALL SCREEN MODE.

During the OVERHEAD view sections, press(and hold down) the arrow key that points in the direction you want to walk. To climb stairs, just walk into them.

The items that you can find are as follows:

RED BOXES: more life

YELLOW BOXES: more spell strength

BLUE BOXES: more shield

BLACK BALLS: more sword power level

Walk over these to get them.

During the SIDE view section, the controls are as follows:

RIGHT ARROW KEY - walk right

LEFT ARROW KEY - walk left

DOWN ARROW KEY - duck

RELEASE ARROW KEY - get up

UP ARROW KEY - get an item that you are over/interact with any object

If you see any stairs or archway, you can climb the stairs or go through the archway by standing over them and press the UP ARROW KEY. If you see ANYTHING usual, walk unto your are OVER IT, then press the UP ARROW key.

If you see any messages, they will disappear over time. When you see the face of your character with the face of yet another character as they speak with each other, press <ENTER> to remove that message and continue. You will learn more as your discover more. PLEASE NOTE: WHEN YOU START, you NOT have the sword. You will need to find it.

HINTS:

Use the walls as cover from enemy fire.

1. Saving your game brings back all of the enemies that your have killed. If you wish to clear an area, avoid saving your game and work your way slowly through an area.

2. Remember where the blue swirls are so that you can go back to them and get healed. Sometimes you will need to kill one enemy at time and retreat to that blue swirl.

3. If you can't get past an enemy that you are unable to defeat, try to find another path around him. This game is HARD, so take your time and try and try again.

4. At the start of the game, going East will take you to a chamber where there are items which will increase your strength. The Southwest section of the floor you start on, has stairs down where you can get your first spell.

KNOW ISSUE THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX:

If you get stuck on a wall, just press the arrow key that is opposite the wall and you should be unstuck.

Sometime in the SIDE view sections, you can get stuck and not be able to walk if you duck a lot of times in a row. If this happens, just hack your sword, cast a spell, or turn around this will get your unstuck. GOOD LUCK!

ALSO - When you find a barrier in one of the towers that no spell can destroy, you need to destroy the two mechanisms that power it. Press UP when you are over even of them. BUT, SAVING YOUR GAME WILL RESTORE THESE MECHANISMS. THEREFORE - you will need to destroy them both AND walk past where that barrier was to get the item that is there BEFORE saving your game again.

This game has a very nice look and sound, but the size/speed of the main character, the limited field size, and the lasers in the top down screen make it very frustrating to play. I have no clue when an attack is coming, and even if I see it, I may not be able to dodge in time. I feel like the player should have a fair shot of avoiding an attack.

Thank you for your comments. You have brought up quite a few good points. I will keep all of this in mind for my future games. Now,.... I hope that helps you. After getting the power ups from the room that is next to where you start, head south, then go west once you see the southern wall. This will take you to other room with more power ups. A little bit further west is the room that has to stairs to one of the passageways. Here is where you can get the red blot spell. It will work against the moving enemies in the top down section, but NOT the heads. The other passageway can be found in the northeast section of the floor that you start on. In is not far from the northeast corner. Be sure to use the walls for cover and save often. GOOD LUCK!
