About this game

□Story

Pollux, a Freelance HERO,ended up cursed by a treasure chest through by accident!

To break the curse, he sets off on a strange adventure

across seas, mountains, and all kinds of nonsense!

Use the power of “INVINCIBILITY” and charge ahead!

□Game Overview

Swing your sword, jump through danger,

and conquer monsters and dungeons alike!

In trouble? Hit the Guard button!

If you hide inside a BOX, you’re basically invincible!*

*Some exceptions may apply. Please BOX responsibly.

□Controls

*Images show the default control settings.

To change the controls, press F1 and open:“Settings” → “Control Settings”.

Press A to attack with your sword!

Press B to jump!

Press DOWN to guard!

While guarding, you can block almost anything…

except attacks that “Box-piercing Energy” like a Fire, Ice, Thunder,and Sound.

If things look dangerous, press ↓!

If something weird starts happening, press ↓!

Surely that’ll solve the problem. Probably.

Guarding projectiles or heavy attacks may let you:

・Reflect attacks,

・Stagger enemies,

・or Defeat them with recoil damage!

That’s your chance to Counterattack!

INVINCIBILITY also works on stage gimmicks!

Nothing can stop Pollux! (Some things can.)

□Items

At “A Witch Shop,”

you can spend money collected during stages to buy items!

Stock up on powerful recovery items

and push through difficult areas!

□Clustals

Somewhere in each stage lies a hidden “Clustal”!

(No, that spelling is intentional.)

Collect 4 Clustals to increase your maximum HP by 1!

There is 1 Clustal per stage,

20 total throughout the game. Try finding them all!
