Wardner

In Wardner, you take on the roll of a short, chubby guy whose name I am not
aware of. The game starts when you and a girl are approached by a wizard
promising a "fantasia" of sorts. You follow the wizard, and he kidnaps the
girl, commenting that she will make a nice gift for Mr. Wardner. We can't
have that, can we?On your quest to save your friend, you have to travel across 5 levels, to
reach the evil Mr. Wardner. You will have to destroy monsters, jump over and
duck under various traps, and collect gold and orbs to help you with your
journey.You have a weapon meter on the bottom of the screen, which shows your
current weapon, and weapon power (1 to 8). All weapons use the same power, so
if you change weapons, you won't lose the power. The power, rather than
making your weapon stronger, lets you fire it faster.

The hero and his girlfriend got lost in the mysterious forest of Wardner. Suddenly the ruler of the forest, Wardner, transforms the heroes girlfriend and takes her deep into the forest. The hero sets out to traverse the forest to save his girlfriend.
