Find the stairs down on each floor and descend as deep as you can. You have one life.
Move: drag anywhere on the left half of the screen. Keys WASD or arrows.
Attack: the axe disc. Space or J, or click. Every third swing in a row is a heavy cleave that hurls enemies back.
Dodge: a quick roll you cannot be hurt in. Shift or K.
Rage: hitting and being hit fills the ember bar. When full, unleash a Frenzy: more damage, faster swings, life steal. R or L.
Potion: heals a large part of your health. Q.
Use: the hand disc appears beside a chest, a cracked wall or the stairs. E.
Dangers: spike pits glow before they fire, blades swing across corridors (watch their shadow), some rooms seal you in with an ambush, and a champion wanders with its pack of Hollowed.
Loot: rarity reads from the colour of its light: Common, Magic, Rare, Legendary, Mythic. Where dust drifts from a cracked wall, something is hidden behind it.
