[Ziggurat]

Some monsters attack by getting in your face. Others, like the crabs and some later critters, have a long reach and you have to move up to fight mano a mano. BTW, the first thing I did with this game is change the movement and pause keys to something easier. I use the second set of arrow keys to the right of the keyboard for all movement. I use the space bar for pause. I don't use any other keys, but have the default set to "run".
