How to Play

Guide the young wizard Sherg through diverse magical environments to rescue his friend Jenny. Navigate vibrant levels by running, jumping, and using magical projectile attacks to defeat enemies. Collect magic gems scattered throughout each stage to increase your score and unlock secrets, while utilizing unique transformation powers to turn into different forms like a fish, a bird, or a golem to bypass obstacles.

Master the timing of your jumps and ranged magic attacks to defeat enemies from a safe distance. Pay close attention to environmental hazards and use your transformed states to navigate otherwise impassable areas. Focus on collecting green gems to build up extra lives early on, which will prove crucial during the challenging boss fights at the end of each themed world.

Browser controls and troubleshooting

If the keyboard does not respond, click the game screen first and check the actual key mappings in the player controls. Arrow keys scrolling the page can mean the game does not have input focus.

On a phone, check whether the player provides touch buttons. Try landscape or fullscreen if the controls are too small. After connecting a gamepad, press a button with the game focused and check whether the player recognizes it.

For a black screen or a stalled load, wait briefly before using Reload player or Browse games in the embedded player or play page. Reloading restarts the player and may lose unsaved progress. If no save option is available, do not rely on refreshing to preserve progress.
