The game uses a side-scrolling perspective with movement, jumping, climbing, and melee or projectile attacks against enemies across varied stages. Gold coins dropped by foes can be spent in shops between levels to buy weapons, armor, potions, keys, and extra lives. Progress depends on clearing stages, managing resources, and choosing the right upgrades for upcoming hazards and bosses.

Strategy
Save gold for defensive upgrades and healing items early on, since survival is often more important than raw damage. Learn enemy spawn points and attack patterns before rushing ahead, and use jumps to avoid being trapped on narrow platforms. Keep powerful items for later stages where enemy density and boss pressure increase sharply.

Tips and tricks
- Take your time on ledges and slopes; reckless movement is punished quickly.
- Use the shop to balance offense and defense rather than buying only one type of upgrade.
- Practice safe spacing for each enemy type to reduce life loss.
