Each land brings a new skill. Finish a level to unlock the next.
Items go in your backpack. Shields and rings have 2 uses, everything else 3. Shield, ring and berry pouch use one each time they save you; the others use one each level you take them. Items with uses left come back to your backpack after the level. You earn 1 coin for every 2 berries you carry to the door, 10 for each new secret room, and 5 each time you find it again. Running out of hearts drops half your coins.
Ranks: New → Noob → Pro → Advanced → Ace. Each rank has levels 1 to 5: every 5 levels you finish (story or community) moves you up one.
