9 itemsAbout the Game
Deep within the Marigold Meadows held the Radiant Lily, a mythical herb capable of dispelling any ailment. Upon finding it, Lyra ventures through Florian to deliver the herb to the kingdom of Clerica. Leap through 5 areas in this 2D platformer adventure and face off against foes and bosses alike by using Lyra's harp based attacks.
With her trusty spin jump, Lyra is able to weave through enemies without taking contact damage whilst she journeys back home. By diving onto slopes, Lyra can gain a burst of speed when she jumps.
Run (C by default / Double tap forward or backward): Lyra enters a run state that is faster than her usual walk speed. Running and then jumping can cross larger gaps compared a regular jump.
Spin Jump (Up + Jump / Down + Jump): Jumps higher than usual and deals light damage to enemies. Ignores contact damage from enemies.
Dive (Down + Jump while in the air): Quickly moves downwards and passes through contact damage from enemies. Land on slopes to quickly slide down.
Dive Jump (Dive onto a slope and then Spin Jump): Leaps across greater distances at top speed. Perform a second jump after landing to conserve momentum.
Power Cut (Keep the attack button pressed down after an attack): Gathers up energy to release an attack with more range and damage. Charge is lost upon getting hit.
Call (A by default / Up + Attack): Uses Muse Points (MP) to cast ranged attacks with Lyra's familiars. Use left swap and right swap (S and D by default) to switch between these moves.
Joining Lyra are her loyal animal friends, Lepus, Felis, and Columba. By using Muse Points (MP) she is able to call upon her allies and combat foes who are beyond her reach. Although Lyra's MP pool is modest, she can refill her MP by landing physical attacks.
Featuring the iconic LCD palette from the 1990s. Choose between 15 color palettes to change a playthrough from a calm sunset to a deep midnight. Adding to this is an 8-bit classic soundtrack to complement the familiar green screen aesthetic. Strive for S ranks and quicker times with a refreshing new look for the game.
