Incinerate swarming enemies like giant rats and bats using the player character's fire breath to reclaim a kingdom. This multi-screen platformer requires traversing around a hundred different screens in all four directions. Collecting magical artifacts grants new powers, helping the player overcome fixed-path obstacles and aggressive foes while hunting the Tyrant beast.
