Main features of Reaper for Windows 8 and 8.1:
When you launch Reaper on your device, you will be presented with the main menu of the game as can be seen below.
To start the game, just press on the corresponding Start button at the right side of the screen. You can also choose to view your high score, options, see the available free and paid upgrades, or view the about section of the game. Once the Start button is pressed, you will be taken to a brief introduction screen where you will be told about what the game is really about.
You can click on the intro screen to read more narration at the bottom of the screen. Once you have read through it all, you will be taken to the gameplay screen itself. The first thing you will see is the controls screen presented on your screen.
The controls of the game are explained better towards the end of this article. Reaper attacks automatically when it sees pots of gold or enemies approaching towards him, however, manual attacks can be performed by pressing the up or down arrow keys. Manual attacks are more powerful than auto attacks.
You can see purple glowing orbs throughout the game which will give you helpful hints to help you get through the level. You can see Reaper attacking a pot of gold above. Auto attacks generate gold skulls which appear at the top of the screen. Manual attacks deplete these gold skulls in exchange for more attack power. You can see me performing a manual aerial attack in the screenshot below.
Reaper’s health is visible at the bottom center of the screen. You can pause the game either via the Esc. key or via the pause button at the top left.
In the pause menu, you can choose to continue the game, access the game’s options or quit the game.
