Movement
To return the Thorned Emerald to its resting place and break the curse, McCoy needs to travel to the end of each area to find a map to the next location. Use the arrow keys to run, and press A to jump (hold A to jump higher). Use the down arrow to duck, and press A while holding the down arrow to drop through platforms.
McCoy can also use ropes and ladders to move through an area. Jump to ladders and ropes to automatically grab them, and use the arrow keys to shimmy across ropes. You can jump from ropes and ladders, and can drop from ropes and ladders by holding the down arrow.

Attacking
Your attacks are different depending on which weapon you're using! Press S to attack, and if you don't have a weapon equipped, McCoy will fight with his fists. If you're using a weapon that can be aimed (like guns and throwing objects), use the arrow keys to aim while attacking. To aim while standing still, first press and hold the up arrow, then hold the left or right arrow to aim diagonally. You can also do a low attack while ducking.

Weapons
Find weapons on the ground for stronger attacks! Enemigos may also drop their weapons when killed. Weapons only last for so long before they break or run out of ammo, so keep grabbing new weapons as you go. To pick up a weapon, press the down arrow while standing over it. To drop a weapon, press D. Each weapon has a different attack power, so experiment with different weapons you find along the path! Be careful, you can't use your weapon while you're climbing on ropes and ladders.

Objects
You can pick up and throw various objects throughout each area! Stand on or behind an object, and press the down arrow to pick it up. Press the down arrow or D to drop an object without breaking it, or press S to throw an object at enemies! Move crates and boulders to other locations, and climb on them to get to out-of-reach areas! Grab chickens to glide through the air! Move or break objects to find weapons or money inside!

Juggling Enemigos
Hex Hatfield's Enemigos are after you for the reward money! After you knock out an enemy, he'll fly through the air -- hit him again to juggle him in the air for more points and more money. Enemies will sometimes drop their weapons (which you can use!) -- keep juggling a dying enemy for a better chance of getting his weapon.

Challenges
Besides simply finishing an area, each location on your map has 5 Challenges you can complete for extra points. You can see your current progress on a level's Challenges in the Menu, and will see what the Challenges are before and after playing a level. If you don't finish a Challenge while in a level, you have to start that Challenge over! Try to focus on completing one Challenge at a time, or try to do multiples at once. It's up to you!

Treasures
Each location also has 5 Secret Treasures hidden throughout the level. Explore off the beaten path to find them all!

Badges
Besides area-specific Challenges, there are also Badges that can be earned anywhere by completing certain achievements. Badge progress carries over from area to area, so you're always working towards earning these Badges! Kill a certain number of enemies with each weapon to earn some Badges, and other activities like juggling enemies and cutting down tall grass! You can view the various Badges and your progress on each in the main Menu. You'll also earn money and points when you earn each Badge.
