A flashing box shows you what you have currently selected. The cursor box can be moved using the cursor buttons.

Overview map and compass

To open the overview map, press the “M” button, or use the map symbol in the Character menu.
In the game, you must explore parts of a level in order to see them on the map.
If you have not yet explored a particular section of a level, then the corresponding part of the overview map remains empty. 
You can make combined use of the map and compass to excellent effect. Turn the playing field using the camera rotation so that the compass points with the red tip towards the top. If you now call up the map, it will be correctly orientated. The arrow on the map shows your present position and the tip of the arrow points towards the direction in which you are currently looking. In labyrinths and the more complicated levels, the overview map is indispensable.
