Push the X button over and over to simulate tugging on the rope that operates the portcullis. Let in your countrymen! Don't go too fast or you'll lose stamina. Don't let it hold too long in one place, or it'll fall! And if you don't have enough stamina, you won't be able to catch it!

(This game is kind of broken, and I can't figure out how to fix the bug: If you jam on X forever, the portcullis will stay up, and it's not supposed to do that. Honor system?)

After an hour away, the problem occurred to me and I fixed it. Is this cheating? Kind of! But it's kind of actually a playable game now.

(Legacy broken version included.)
