The play is fairly simple, you control Billy by using the move left / move right keys to move along the various platforms. To jump to a higher platform use the jump key. And if it moves kill it with the fire key. (Note some objects you must just avoid, you can't kill them).
There are various spells you can collect along the way that will help you, but they only last a short period of time. The exception is the screen clear spell which lasts until you use it.
You may save any game in progress by pausing the game at any point (CAPS LOCK) and then choosing Save from the file menu. Restore will let you resume a saved game.
ESC will quit the game.
