Sword Stealers

The player controls a small knight who can move about a grid in all direction. The knight can fire vertically upwards and downwards, but his shot is contained within the grid, shortening firing distance. The player's goal is to slay a number of enemies, including men on horseback, birds, and men on foot. If the player clears every creature on the screen, they advance to a more difficult level. The player starts with 5 lives, and it's game over when all are lost.
