The game runs in a DOS emulator: keyboard and mouse work like on an old PC, each game has its own layout (see the hints in the game). There are no on-screen buttons on a phone.
First click the game screen once: after that the keys go to the game, not the page. To scroll the page again, click outside the game window. If the game does not respond, click the game screen again.
The game runs from the Internet Archive site in their emulator; there are no game files on our servers. We show it so you can get to know it; the rights to the game belong to the rights holders. The built-in player has no volume control: if there is no sound or you need to adjust it, open the game page on Internet Archive, which has sound and full-screen buttons.

Why
There’s no units produced with a source and not enough listings. We don’t make things up.
Description
Hundred years ago, a fearsome dragon nearly destroyed the entire world, but was stopped and sealed by Prince Grinstain of Bamas and the Royal Princess Respina of Pars, who used magical Hartinum equipment to defeat it.

However, a malevolent sorcerer named Sakiski has appeared in the land of Laurasia, using the princess of Bamas in a cruel sacrifice to restore the power of the dragon. The young knight Lychnis and an apprentice magician from Pars named Iris are the only ones who can retrieve the hidden Hartinum arsenal and stop Sakiski. Lychnis is a Korean-made side-scrolling platformer. The player can choose to control either Lychnis or Iris; the knight fights with his sword and can jump on walls, while the magician uses ranged attacks with a staff and can double-jump. Some areas can only be accessed by a specific character. Enemies, treasure chests, and various items can be found in the stages. Enemies drop coins, health-restoring items, or other power-ups upon defeat. If a special "shop" icon has been collected, the player gains access to a store between the stages, which allows him to upgrade the characters' weapons and maximum health. With the exception of the final confrontation, there are no boss battles in the game. There is also no password feature or any other possibility to save the player's progress.
