FAQ completed.
2. 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.
