Starting Tips
Dive right into the magic by selecting one of the three wonders from the main menu after starting. Master the specific controls for each game and watch out for charming but tough-to-beat adversaries in every playthrough.
- 1. Select Your Wonder: At the main menu, move the character with arrow keys or WASD and press Z or X to confirm which of the three games—shooter, puzzle‑platform, shooter‑puzzle variant—you want to play first.
- 2. Play and Experiment: In each game, start moving/shooting with Arrow+Z; some puzzles require block pushing (Z) or object hooking (hold Z to grapple, release to swing). Pay attention to the onscreen prompts as they appear.
- 3. Advance Through Levels: Jump (Z/space) through platforms, dodge enemy attacks while shooting, and beat puzzles to reach the stage boss. Use rapid‐fire for crowd control; gather power‑ups dropped by stunned foes—practice quick timing in grapple mechanics.
