The game uses a 2D side-scrolling perspective with linear stage progression. Players move through levels from left to right, defeating regular enemies, avoiding traps, and learning boss patterns. The controls generally include movement, jumping, melee attacks, and possibly special abilities or projectile attacks. Platforming sections require careful timing, while combat emphasizes spacing, reaction speed, and preserving health for later sections.

Learn enemy patterns before committing to attacks, especially in narrow platform sections. Clear ranged threats first so you can move safely through the stage. Save stronger attacks for bosses, and keep moving during boss fights to avoid trading damage unnecessarily.
