Can you add action buttons? The directional buttons were easy enough to infer, but not sure what other types of input are possible. (I’m on mobile)




I'm not on mobile and I also cannot figure out where the action button is. One can get as far as finding the sword, but I have to idea how to pick it up.


Seems like the controls are the same as the original!

Use the Shift key to pick up the sword. And I think Space to attack and the Up cursor key to block when you get to the swordsman.


I'm using a Windows laptop with an external USB keyboard. The Shift key didn't do anything. But the Shift key on the laptop's own keyboard worked.


i just tried it on mobile and i am very impressed.

the movement controls are very intuitive. they don't hit accurately but they work in an intuitive way. i tapped the four directions and four quadrants of the play screen. and the character responded as i expected.

i am with you though. i have no idea how i will use the sword when i get it.


Interesting. Only the four direction buttons work for me, regardless of num lock setting. eg 2, 4, 6, 8. None of the corner buttons nor middle button have any kind of effect.

This is when using Firefox on Linux, and using a standard 101-key external keyboard.


Slash sword is the middle tap. Took me awhile to figure that out but makes sense now that I know since you can't slash backwards.


How do you walk forward slowly? Tapping bottom edges does “run” action for me.

Edit: figured it out, tap on the center and swipe to the left/right to walk.


Hm, I couldn’t get it to work on my iPhone (not that I actually expected it to) - I could do some things but the controls didn’t seem to work consistently.


I managed to get halfway through level 2 on my phone. I think the screen is a 3x3 button grid. Center is 'action' for swords and potions.


Tap on the screen at diagonals. It’s location context aware.
