Gameplay tips
Most of the gameplay is already outlined within the game, so here are just a few minor things that aren't:You don't always need every item available to you on a level. There are a few levels where the solution doesn't require every item, and in one case isn't what you're expecting it to be at all.
You need to kill the thief the first time you see him. If you don't, he'll show up on the second-last level and steal your gem, preventing you from getting all 25. Fortunately, you can go back to the Map and return to the first thief room and play it again, and if you get rid of him the second time playing the room you'll be able to play the second-last level without him.
Arrows will kill monsters, as will boulders. Boulders will also deflect arrow shots. Boulders will not, however, deflect the dragon's breath; only closed doors will do that. Boulders behave exactly the same as you do, except they don't follow the moneybags.
