How to play:
When the level starts, you have to pick sub-weapons. Push "Attack" to pick the dagger then the clock then pick "End" to start the level. In later levels, you'll also get to pick a girl as a sub weapon.

Kill things and break stuff for red power, this fuels sub weapons.

Sometimes you'll find food in pots to restore some health.

When in the air, press jump again to fly. Flying eats up blue mana, but it recharges when you aren't flying.

You have 20 lives. If you die you'll restart the current room. Your red power will persist after death, unless it is less than 50, then you'll start with 50 red power.

If you run out of lives, just use "Continue" on the title screen and pick the highest number since that's the level you died on.

During the level, if you pause and pick "Retry" you'll restart the level from the weapon select, but go back to 20 lives.
