About Blackguard
Explore the Dungeons of Doom as the Blackguard! Blackguard is a first person perspective on a classic dungeon-crawler game. Defeat enemies in a quest for the Amulet of Yendor.
Commands are given to Blackguard by swiping screen and pressing
single characters on the keyboard.

See the manual for details.

to give help on. If you type a *, it will list all the
commands, otherwise it will explain what the character
you type does.
/ This is the What is that on the screen? command.
A / followed by any character that you see on the level,

or run into a wall.
t Throw an object.
z Zap an object with a staff or wand.

level, this command means to climb down (down).

you have the ability to climb back up a level, hopefully on
your way out (up).
s Search for traps and secret doors. Examine each space
immediately adjacent to you for the existence of a trap or
secret door. There is a large chance that even if there is
