How to Play Joshua & the Battle of Jericho
Quick start
Guide Joshua through each maze, collect the required sacred objects, and reach the exit before time or health runs out. Fire musical notes to stun or remove enemies, push blocks to open routes, and avoid trapping yourself against walls. Use passwords to continue from later stages and save limited special items for crowded rooms.
Controls
D-pad: move Joshua one tile at a time and push movable blocks. Face buttons: fire musical notes, use the currently available special action, and confirm menu choices. Start pauses. Test the fire action in the open area at the beginning of the first maze, then use ranged shots before moving beside an enemy.
