4,000 Kung-Fu Maniacs: The Twerk of Destiny

SEUCK Compo Entry #2

SCENARIO

The Master of Awesome, and his mentor the Master of Exposition, are heading for a breakdance competition. Not for money or glory, but to show off the physical feats of the School of Awesome as an example to the world. (And also because the alternative, spending a Saturday evening in the Temple of Awesome, was boring.)

Since they are running late and can't afford taxi or Uber, the Master of Awesome suggests they take a shortcut ... through the Ninja Zone.

THE NINJA ZONE! A (mostly peaceful) area of the city under complete ninja control. 4,000 extremely violent ninjas, dedicated to crime and stealthy murder, await anyone who tries to cross their turf. (They also carry an old grudge against the Temple of Awesome - see the original KUNG-FU MANIACS Trilogy.)

Thus begins the quest to reach the breakdancing competition in time. Will the School of Awesome's secret dance move - the Twerk of Destiny - save the day...?

HOW TO PLAY

This is a 1 or 2 player game. Press Fire on either joystick to start the game.

The second player can join in any time, by pressing Fire.

Joystick Port 2: Control the Master of Awesome

Joystick Port 1: Control the Master of Exposition

You earn a bonus life for every 10,000 points you score.

Press FIRE to strike. If you combine a strike with a jump, you can make various flying attacks.

The default direction of a strike is always Forward (from left to right). To strike backwards, hold LEFT while pressing Fire repeatedly.

Holding LEFT also makes your character do the Twerk of Destiny - which doubles as a way to Duck.

JUMPING

Press or hold UP to jump, and combine with LEFT/RIGHT to make a long jump.

The longer you hold LEFT or RIGHT, the longer the jump. You can change the direction of a jump - or break it - in mid-air.

If you keep holding UP, you will automatically jump again as soon as you land.

You can jump onto these objects - but only from the sides:

LEDGES, CRATES, STREET LAMPS, RAILS, TABLES, COUCHES, TREES, VANS and WALL PIPES.

IMPORTANT: If you find yourself "stuck" after you jump onto the very edge of an object, just keep holding UP to immediately make another jump and move on.
