Before you play

How do I grab a ledge or attack?

Shift grabs edges, drinks potions and strikes with the sword. Up jumps or climbs, and blocks attacks while fighting.

Can I continue at a specific level?

The project stores level, health and time in URL parameters. Keep the current game URL as a bookmark, or use its documented parameters to choose a level.

Is there an easier setting?

The project provides reduced guard difficulty at princejs.com?strength=50. On phones, landscape mode and adding the game to the home screen also make the controls easier to use.
