The game uses a side-scrolling format focused on ascending a multi-floor tower. Players move, jump, slash with swords, and use magic while opening chests for weapons, keys, healing items, and temporary power-ups. Each floor contains enemies, hazards, and branching routes, with progress gated by defeating key foes. Rescued allies join as AI companions with different attack styles, adding tactical variety. Two players can cooperate through the full adventure.

Characters
The Hero
The player character, a sword-wielding adventurer who enters the tower to stop an evil magical threat.
Drokmar
The dark sorcerer who rules the tower and serves as the game's final boss.
Rescued Allies
Companions such as warriors, ninjas, priests, and monster hunters who can fight alongside the hero.
Strategy
Learn which companions fit your play style; ranged allies are often safer for surviving crowded floors. Do not open every chest blindly if keys are limited, and consider whether your current weapon is more useful for the next area. Against large enemies, use jumps and careful spacing to avoid direct attacks. Save healing items for difficult boss encounters. In co-op, one player can control crowds while the other focuses on stronger targets.
