Basic moves
Run and jump across platforms until you reach the end of the level.
Attack or avoid wandering enemies.
Avoid plummeting off the edge of platforms.
Attacking
At the start of each level, you are defenseless. Your only defensive option is dodging and avoiding your enemies.
To start attacking, collect a candy cane from somewhere in the level.
This can be perilous. Sometimes the candy cane may be located closer to enemies.
Make collecting the candy cane your main priority at the start of each level.
You have infinite ammo, but limited range.
Lives
At the start, you only have 5 lives.
You have no hit points. Plummeting and making contact with an enemy will cost you a life.
If you run out of lives, you cannot progress any further.
Collect hearts strewn across some levels to earn an extra life.
Scoring
Collecting candy adds 10 points to your score.
Defeating enemies gets you 50 points.
Earn the highest score in each level by collecting all the candies and killing all the enemies before exiting.
