How to Play

General Controls

Jump with the arrow key, W, or Z. Use the left and right arrow keys, AD, or QD to walk around the world. When standing on the ground, press the down arrow or S to crouch. When crouching, you can also use the left and right keys to dash quickly across the ground. This will stun some foes for a moment as well as assist you in breaking open chests. When in the air, you can use the down key to Ground Pound. This deals significant damage and be used to defeat multiple bosses.

On each floor of the tower, you'll find a staff member who might offer tips for the next level.

Coins are scattered throughout each world, and your goal is to collect as many as possible to unlock the Teleport Key. This key lets you exit the world and move on to the next floor of the tower.
