How to play
You control either Alex or Ryan, moving through urban environments from left to right. Your primary goal is to defeat waves of enemy gang members using punches, kicks, and special attacks. Defeated enemies drop money which you can use to purchase food and items from shops to permanently increase your character's stats like strength, agility, and health. The core gameplay loop involves clearing areas of enemies, managing your currency for upgrades, and occasionally battling sub-bosses before confronting the final gang leader. As a beginner, focus on learning the basic three-hit combo and the jumping knee drop attack, which is highly effective. In the early game, prioritize buying stat-boosting items like the Dragon Feet or Stone Hands to increase your damage output. During tense encounters, use hit-and-run tactics against stronger enemies and always keep health-restoring items like burgers or pizza handy for emergencies.
