Mecanics

During the stage there are stones and pieces of wood that can be used to attack enemies, in addition to the jump.

Player controls:

-Move: Directional arrows or AWSD;

-Jump: Space;

-Attack: J;

-Throw stones: K;

Use the directional arrows or AWSD on the computer keyboard, or mouse to access interface buttons.

Enemies

-Flying Lizard and Three Horns Taurus: walks horizontaly, and chases the player when it sees him. It can be destroyed with jump, attack and stones;

-Scopider (Scorpion + Spider): waits on the roof, and attacks the player when he appears below. Because of its hard carapace, the jump doesn't affect the Scopider. The only way to destroy this enemy is with the strong impact of the attack or of throwing stones;

 -Hedgboar (Hedgehog + Boar): walks horizontaly, and throws spikes when it sees the player. Because of its pelage of spikes, the jump doesn't affect the Hedgboar. The only way to destroy this enemy is with attack or throwing stones;

Changes after first version

-Correction of bugs in interface, in executable for Web, in spikes, in enemies, and in controls (J to attack and K to throw rocks);

-Songs to repeat;

-Adjust  throw stones e attack times;

-Increased the difficulty of some stages (some enemies were buged).
