GAME MECHANICS
The game is a dilemma of attacking, searching, healing, and upgrading weapon. The maps are designed that you won't always be able to get to things in the order you want to. Planning ahead is crucial. As is a certain amount of luck! Every action matters.
SEARCHING
Finding items can dramatically affect your progression. Use button B to search. You will always find the most useful item first and will not find other items in the same location until you use it. Searching again may find additional item(s).
CONTROLS
Standard RPG rules apply. Direction buttons move you around and use button A to interact. Use the SELECT button to mute music. Pressing button B when will search the area for helpful items.
COMPATIBILITY
The game is for the Game Boy Original and should be playable on any Game Boy or emulator that can play .gb files.
A .pocket file is available for the Analogue Pocket
On some handhelds you can copy the zip itself. This will ensure the .gb file doesn't get corrupt.

Are the glowing orbs cumulative, or do they only affect enemies on that level?
Orbs only affect enemies on that level. Thanks for playing!
First map I found a corner that was clear, there were items beyond it and the path was a dead-end, but I could not get past the corner. I did record a video of it, if you're interested. Let me know if you want the video or have any questions.
I reviewed the video. You cannot walk over items or enemies, you have to collect them using the A button.
It appears I may have been trying to walk past an item, which must be picked up before you can proceed. Thanks to Paul for his quick communication and diagnosis of my problem, which isn't a problem with the game.
