Please try our shop! --Happy Mask Shop Owner

View Point with Z Targeting When you have no object to look at, you can just look forward with Z.
Stop moving and then change the direction you are facing, or hold down Z for a little while.
This can help you get oriented in the direction you want to face. It's quite convenient!
If you hold down Z, you can walk sideways while facing straight ahead.
Walking sideways can be a very important technique in dungeon corridors. Turn around and try doing this right now.
Stepping Stones in the Pond If you boldly go in the direction you want to jump, you will leap automatically.
If you hop around on the stones, you'll become happier!
