on the title (this) screen, f1 starts the game, f2 selects the start screen, and f3 turns the music on/off.
when playing, z isleft, x right, ' up, and / down. f12 quits and returns you here. escape will always return you to the desktop.
you are #063. on each of the 5 screens you must collect scrolls (#013) and the jewel (#009) and go to the exit (#015).
often there are rocks (#001), which fall when not supported.
you can dig through mud (#002), snow (#076) and moss (#075).
safes (#004) - usually - hide scrolls. collect the keys (#014) to open.
also, there are yellow devils (#005) on some screens. contact with these is deadly. they can usually be guided into cages (#003) and become scrolls.
if a devil touches the player, it too is killed - which can make some screens impossible, so watch out!
on some of the screens like this (#064) there are places where the platforms collapse under rocks.
