Overview:
Cyraid is a platformer with heavy puzzle elements. Each stage is presented on a single screen and each screen is filled with monsters, ladders, and various kinds of blocks. Each stage has about 6 blocks --sometimes more, sometimes less-- that are labeled E. You need to collect every E-block in a stage in order to the next.
By simultaneously pressing A and the D-pad, you can kick. Given the correct circumstances, you can use kicking to modify everything on the screen. You can destroy blocks, kill enemies, and kick ladders around. In this way you can reach every E block, even though at first glance some may seem impossible to get to.
Every couple minutes, a large, ball-shaped monster appears from some fixed spot on the wall. Any blocks you have destroyed have a chance of reappearing as it stomps about shaking the screen. This can be useful if you find that you have destroyed a block you need to reach a certain area. However, if a block spawns in the square you are standing in, you will die instantly.
Destroying blocks sometimes reveals extra lives and powerups. An x-shaped power-up stacks to give you useful abilities like speed and jumping. This allows you to take shortcuts on stages and finish them more quickly, but you'll lose all power-ups upon losing a life.
The final level of each world features a boss. You cannot directly harm the boss, but--as in Super Mario Bros.--there is a lever you can pull that will defeat it.
