When facing the first monsters that you will encounter, you can jump over their energy balls if you stand still and jump just as the ball nears you. Once your are in the air, move forward in order to clear the ball. The VERY first monster will turn to the right and fire, so nail him from behind. As Lucia, you can jump kick him. As Hortis, wait for him to fire as you stand to his left side. Then grab the wand and shoot him.
The Grand Palace is a simple platform game where you try to progress past each of the levels. After pressing any key at the title screen, you will see the character select screen.
The Left or Right ARROW KEYS are used to select your character. Press the SPACE BAR to select him or her. When you see the screen that has the HERE marker, press the SPACE BAR to get to the next stage right away.
the controls:
UP ARROW KEY - go up a latter
RIGHT ARROW KEY - moves right
LEFT ARROW KEY - moves left
DOWN ARROW KEY - go down a latter or crouch down
SHIFT LEY - shoot magic or kick, you can do either ONLY if your are standing still and standing up, you can not be moving.
CTRL KEY - jump
the status indicators:
The number on the top right corner of the screen is your score. The candles under your score are the number of lives you have left. The red bubbles on the left top side of the screen indicates your life
reading. They turn blue has you get hit and you die if they all turn blue. Touching candle stands will gives you more lives or increase your life reading. The blue bar above your life reading is the amount of magic you have left. You can't fire magic if you are out of it.
collectibles: Picking up fruit will restore lost life readings. Again, touching candle stands will gives you more lives or increase your life reading. Only Hortis can pick up wands, staffs, or gems. The gems increase his
magic and the wands, enable him to use magic. Depending on the wand he
picks up, he will have a different kind of magic. The symbol in the middle top part of the screen will show what kind of wand he has. If he touches a candle stands that increases the life reading, he will lose his wand, but still have his remaining magic strength.
the characters: Hortis is a wizard and can fight only as long as he has a wand and magic strength. Lucia is a young girl who has no magic and doesn't need any. Being able to fight unarmed is magic enough for her. She can kick and jump kick. Just jump, than kick.
