There's a lot wrong with this version of Battlespire, many of us can't even get the movement controls to work right. I noticed those problems with the manual too. It's pretty glaring to anyone trying to read it which means GOG put 0 effort into checking the product they're selling... disappointing really.

GOG is aware of it, but unfortunately the manual for Battlespire seems to be a rare item to find. They are trying to obtain one to properly scan, but copies of it prove (very) elusive.
