About this game

Christine leaves the Elven kingdom to recover Arkista’s Ring and its stolen treasures. She moves in four directions and fires in the direction she faces, lining up attacks while avoiding enemy contact. Defeating enough enemies produces a key for the barriers and stage exit. Enemy rewards include useful tools, but the bag has limited room, so keeping one can mean dropping another. Larger bags increase capacity, armor extends hit points and improved bows increase range and firepower, linking collection to later encounters.
