The game is a single-player side-scrolling action puzzle experience made up of discrete rooms. Dana can move in four directions and cast magic to create or remove blocks, which are used to build steps, bridge gaps, block enemies, or open paths. Each room usually contains a key, hazards, enemies, and a door, and the player must reach the exit before time runs out. Later stages add more complex layouts and enemy patterns, requiring careful planning and precise movement.

The wizard protagonist who explores the dungeon and solves its block-based puzzles.
Study the room layout before acting. Creating a safe platform first is often better than rushing straight for the key. Use blocks to control enemy movement and to protect landing spots. Since many rooms allow more than one solution, pick the route that reduces risk and saves time.
