Explanation of stats on the stat screen (in order from top to bottom):

• Attack (Sword): Determines damage of weapon shot to enemies (not bomb damage).
• Speed (Boot): Determines movement speed.
• Shot speed (Projectile): Determines how fast your weapon shot travels.
• Shot delay (Clock): Determines how rapidly you can fire weapon shots.
• Range (Bow): Determines how far your shot will travel before disappearing.
• Luck (Clover): Determines many things, including how likely that a pickup will spawn after clearing a room of enemies.

Tips about the game:

• You can have a maximum of 8 "active" items, which are items that you must manually activate. Active items typically cost some mana to use, which you can restore by clearing a room full of enemies or picking up a blue mana star. Each blue star represents 2 MP.
• Grab bag pickups drop 1 to 3 other pickups.
• Every floor also has a super secret room that is connected to only one "normal" room (not a special room such as a shop, boss room, central room, etc.) You can bomb into these rooms as well.
• The first of each two floors of a particular element has a shop, where coins can be spent to buy pickups and an item. Shops require a key to open after the first floor.
• The second of each two floors of a particular element has a blacksmith room, where you can buy permanent stat upgrades. Blacksmith rooms require a key to open after the first floor.
• Every floor has a treasure room, which guarantees an item. Treasure rooms require a key to open after the first floor.
• Treasure rooms have a tiny chance to be replaced by a gemstone room, which contain a powerful gemstone item to pick up. In the future, gemstones will have a secondary function. The quartz item increases the chance of a gemstone room appearing.
• Every floor has a boss room. Defeating the boss guarantees an item and a path to the next floor.
• Bosses are particularly weak to bombs.
• You can bomb certain parts of the environment, such as small statues and rocks. These will sometimes drop copper coins or reveal a downstairs path.
