"The keys to your farm have been stolen. You will need to track down the thieves if you ever want to enter your house again."

This is a small adventure game where the hero needs to find and reclaim the keys to win the game. However, without any pockets, he can only carry two items at a time, one in each hand. Gather food and upgrade him to complete your quest.

You can control the hero with the following keys:

Out of combat:
- WASD -> Movement
- Space -> Jump
- Left mouse -> Grab items
- Right mouse -> Target enemy and swtich to combat mode. You need to hold down the right mouse button.
- Middle mouse button -> Show the way home. Hold down like the right mouse button.

In Combat:
- W -> Advance towards opponent.
- AD -> Circle opponent.
- Left Click -> Attack

Note: All keys can be rebound in the startup screen. Gamepad will also work, but wasn't tested a lot.

The enemy doesn't attack due to various reasons. Also, enemies that will drop items will have the item equiped on their back. Apples are used to upgrade your abilities and keys are needed to win. There is a start of a tutorial in the game, but not all controls are explained.

Tips:
- Items will have a purple glow so you can find them when they drop in the grass and enemies are finite. There are more than enough apples to fully upgrade if you want.

- The skeletons carrying the keys are spawned from the start of the game and are visible at large distances. Normal skeletons spawn when you get close to their start and will remain in the area.

- When you enter combat you will drop the two items you hold in your hands, but not the items you carry on your body. Upgrading your carry capacity will really speed up the game as you can do this up to four time, for six items max.

Good luck.

Post dare update:
Enemies will flash green when hit.
Beams of light will indicate the general location of missing keys while holding down the left mouse button when not in combat.

Note:
For voting, please use the original release, or ignore the new features. Both features will make the game quite a bit more playable.
