Usagi na Panic tells the story of two rabbit-eared adventurers: the spunky warrior Ramy and her magician companion Usami. They travel around and solve the troubles of the citizens they encounter during their journey.

You play as Ramy, who has an oddly extensive move-set including a running stab, a fireball, and a bomb with rather dubious utility.

PROTIPs

• Your stamina is constantly draining. So move efficiently and learn which enemies drop healing carrots. (Enemy drops are not randomized.)


• Keep running to a minimum. It may be tempting to run everywhere due to the threat of your constantly draining stamina. However, running actually consumes more stamina than walking, so it's generally better to walk when possible.


• Keep multiple save files.Your stamina persists across stages, so it can be useful to have a backup to fall back to if things get too tough.


• Defending is pretty useful for the first few stages. Particularly against the [Rocket PenPen]'s projectiles and rolling [GameGame] enemies. It seems to become less effective as the game goes on.
