... How to start ...

Game runs from shell, and by default resolution are 640x480 window mode. If you want fullscreen, then:

hcl:> hcl --fullscreen

If you want bigger resolutions, you use scaling, like this:

for 800x600
hcl:> hcl -x3

for 1024x768
hcl:> hcl -x4

for 1280x960
hcl:> hcl -x5

If you add --fullscreen , that will also mean bigger fullscreen resolutions. I.e. if you want 1280x960, you just do:
hcl:> hcl -x5 --fulscreen


Game also can use upsampling algo (so all will looks more clean, and not pixelesed). One love it as it, another ones love it upsampled, so you can turn it on/off when you start game, press "esc" and in options choice XBRZ on/off.

... How to play ...

1. You can use joystick

2. You can use keyboard, control keys are:

left/right/up/down - character control
x - jump
s - attack
r, w, d - are for secondary weapon. You can have many (you have 0 at first), and "r" and "w" allow fast switch between them (previous/next weapon type), without going to the inventory screen. The "d" is used to use that weapon.
up - to take things (like treasure cheats, keys, etc), enter to the portals.
enter - inventory screen
esc/space - to the menu

@kas1e

Nice ..

I tried the game and it runs very smooth even with bezier activated on my sam440ep. Nice game and very playable.. I had just one "problem".. i wasn't able to find any key.. I found a secondary weapon (a boomerang), three save points and locked doors but where are the keys??

@nubechecorre
When you start, you can go to the left (about 6-7 screens) and will find threasure chest, in which powerfull axe, by which you can hit red blocks, and in one of those blocks you will find a key. Another key when you kill first boss.

If you can watch video, i show there the way till first boss, etc
