The game uses a side-scrolling perspective. Players move through each stage by running, jumping, climbing, and attacking enemies with a sword. Different weapons or pickups can help increase offense. Levels are packed with platforms, hazards, and enemy encounters, so spacing and timing matter heavily. Progress is stage-based, with each area cleared before moving on to the next and eventually facing a boss.

Learn enemy patterns before rushing forward. In narrow platform sections, prioritize safe positioning over speed. Clear ranged threats first when possible, and in boss fights, attack during short openings instead of overcommitting. Consistent, patient play is usually more effective than aggressive pushing.
