You, the Golden Knight, must rescue the Pixel Princess from the clutches of the evil Red Guard. They have built a cunning maze to protect the princess from the grubby paws of Knights (of any color, for that matter). Will you succeed, with the help of magic Potions hidden in the maze...?

The controls and story are in-game.

Up! Down! Left! Right! Space!

Push the X button over and over to simulate tugging on the rope that operates the portcullis. Let in your countrymen! Don't go too fast or you'll lose stamina. Don't let it hold too long in one place, or it'll fall! And if you don't have enough stamina, you won't be able to catch it!

(This game is kind of broken, and I can't figure out how to fix the bug: If you jam on X forever, the portcullis will stay up, and it's not supposed to do that. Honor system?)

After an hour away, the problem occurred to me and I fixed it. Is this cheating? Kind of! But it's kind of actually a playable game now.

(Legacy broken version included.)
