It was presented in the Nintendomax DS Dev Competition 2010.

User guide

The vile Lord Chaos has seized the Gem of Life, plunging the kingdom into Chaos. Many adventurers tried to recover it, none succeeded, all got lost in the meanders of the dungeon and we were killed by the many monsters that haunt its corridors.

Today it's your turn to try the adventure. Good luck to you brave adventurer!

How to play

The game is played entirely using the Stylus. For this the touch screen is divided into 5 zones:

• Top - Hero banner area.
• Middle - Dungeon/Equipment area.
• Right (Upper corner) - Exchange area.
• Right (Middle) - Controls area.
• Bottom - Text display area.

Hero banner

• Portrait - Display character's equipment in the equipment area.
• Red bar - Represents the % of your current health. When it reaches zero the hero dies.
• Yellow bar - Represents the % of your current magic. When it is at zero the hero has no more magic.
• Hands - Allows you to drop an item that is in the trading hand main directly into one of a character's hands without having to switch dungeon and equipment screens.
  • The object is displayed at the same time in the hand of the equipment area.
  • If you clicked on the right hand and the object is a weapon, it is automatically displayed in the weapon control area of the corresponding character.

You must sleep in order to recover health or magic.

Dungeon

To pick up the items on the ground in the dungeon, just tap on it. The object is then transferred to the exchange hand (exchange zone).
