Controls F1 - Pause game and see amount of Golden Arrows F3 - Go to Underworld when paused F7 - End Practice Mode/Continue at "The Game is Lost" screen Stick - Move around Fire - Explained below The other controls are a small bit hard to handle. See the bars on the left side? Those are your aim. Holding the fire button changes them. To shoot, hold a direction, then press fire, then you will shoot. To attack enemies that are in the background from you, use an up-left or up-right direction and for enemies in the foreground, use a down-left or down-right direction. You can also shoot straight up or down. 3. Playing the Game This game is made in "OmniDirection 4D", which basically means that you can go in the background, and behind and in front of objects. So keep that in mind when fighting enemies. (oh, and time passes, but that's not important) 3a. The Forest You will start the game out in Practice Mode. When you are ready, press F7 and after a short delay, your first enemy will appear. (Look at Enemy Strategies for more details on them.) After beating one, an orb will come down and give you a Golden Arrow. Once four have been collected, you may go to the Underworld by pausing the game using F1, and then pressing F3. Note that you may still continue getting them forever, but your amount is doubled when you go there. When you die, you lose half of them, so be careful! If you lose all of your arrows, the game ends, but you can continue by pressing F7. 3b. The Underworld The Golden Arrows act a bit differently in this area. Dying depletes 2, and falling in the Demogorgon's pit depletes 1. Lose them all, and you turn to stone and cannot continue. After a loading screen with some text on it, you will begin in a cave. Wait a little bit, and some bats will appear. After beating them, go to the left end of the map and enter the cave entrance. You will do battle with a Hydra. After beating it, exit and the screen will be black for a bit, and then the Demogorgon will appear. After beating it, you win the game! 4. Enemy Strategies 4a. The Forest SCORPION Really simple, when you are far enough away from it, shoot. Run again, and 5 shots will kill him. WORM When it pops out of the ground, shoot its neck 5 times to kill it. It tends to pop out at different spots, so you'll need to use the diagonal-direction shot strategy for this enemy. DRAGONFLY It will fly around very slowly. Just avoid it and shoot it in the face once to kill it. MEGATHERIUM This thing hops around randomly, so you'll need a bit of luck. Shooting it in the face three times will get rid of it. These enemies repeat forever until you go to the underworld. 4b. The Underworld BAT Avoid the black bats, your target is the orange one. However, it moves very fast, so it can be hard to hit. One shot will take it down. HYDRA You need to shoot straight up at each head. When it stops shooting fire, immediately get below it and shoot it. Repeat for each one. DEMOGORGON This thing is very difficult, you have to make an extremely precise shot into its heart. To be honest, I'm not sure how many hits it takes. 5.
