Slide is X. Ctrl slides too, but only in fullscreen (F), because outside fullscreen a browser may close the tab on Ctrl+W and Firefox never lets a page stop that.

In deep water Space swims up and X swims down. Let go of both and you float back to the surface; at the surface Space still pulls you out.

Movement rewards combat: fast attacks knock enemies back, slide-attacks sweep wide, tree-kicks empower your next strike, and airborne hits restore a little stamina. Violet rings warn of incoming attacks; red means the attack is active.

A great pink tree hides a fairy queen. Find her scattered children in homes, on rooftops and along climbing routes. E rescues a nearby fairy; I keeps your hints.

You start slow and clumsy. Everything you do, you get better at. Something is wrong in the kingdom: a girl is dead, a herbalist is in the stocks, and the Inquisitor wants a burning.
