Enemies:
A sample of some of the enemies you'll encounter in your quest:
The enemies can’t be killed but can only temporarily stunned instead. You can jump on their head, or use your weapons instead. They will remain in this state until you move away from them, at which point they will respawn and resume their villainous. You’ll notice a small flame remaining in its place and start to circle around at a fast pace. Walk a few steps away from it, and the enemy will respawn!
Weapons:
You can collect three different weapons as you explore each level: a boomerang, a bomb, and a gun. Use the right analog stick to aim in the direction in which you want to attack (only boomerang), and use the boomerang to collect diamonds or hit enemies from a safe distance. The weapons need to be discovered as you play.
Attention!
The weapon is essential to complete the level, don't forget to collect it!.

Tips
It is not necessary to collect all the diamonds in the level. The minimum quantity to open the portal can be found in the PAUSE menu.
Hearts and 1UPs can be found scattered around the levels too.
Checkpoints allow you to save locations in the level where Teppo respawns after death can be inactive (left) and active (right).
For a better gaming experience we recommend using the controller.
In the intermediate levels you will find barrels... if they are blown up they will give you extra lives, of course the maximum number of lives is always 5.
While exploring the level, Teppo will find some blocked wooden doors! To open the door you will have to retrieve the object identical to the semi-transparent one that is placed on top of the stones.
