Verteidige den Spieler gegen die bösen Monster, indem du sie wegsprengst oder mit dem Schwert erschlägst. Bringe den Spieler möglichst schnell ins Ziel. Bewegbare Objekte kannst du einfach wegschieben indem du gegen sie läufst, oder sie mit Volumenexpansionsspielelementen zur Seite katapultierst. Steuerung: Auf der linken Seite ist en Joystick mit dem du dich nach links und rechts bewegst. Tippe einmal auf die rechte Seite um zu Springen. Ziehe mit dem Finger über die rechte Seite um eine Bombe zu platzieren. Ziehe den Finger aus der rechten oberen Ecke in die Richtung in die du mit dem Schwert schlagen möchtest.
