This is a side-scrolling beat 'em up with cooperative play. Players move through stages from left to right, using punches, kicks, throws, jumps, and weapons picked up from the ground or from crates. Each character has slightly different speed, reach, and attack feel. Stages mix standard enemy waves with vehicle sections, dinosaur encounters, and boss fights, while the game advances through a fixed sequence of levels with increasing difficulty.

Jack Tenrec

A well-rounded lead character with balanced speed and power, good for beginners.

Hannah Dundee

A fast close-range fighter who excels at pressure and mobility.

Mustapha Cairo

A strong power-oriented brawler who can clear groups efficiently.

Mess O'Bradovich

A versatile fighter with solid ranged weapon use and reliable offense.

Use throws and corner control to keep enemies from surrounding you. Against gunmen, interrupt them quickly with jump attacks or thrown items. Save strong weapons for bosses and tougher mid-stage threats. Watch dinosaur enemies carefully, since their charges and wide attacks punish careless movement. In multiplayer, split crowd control and focus fire to push through safely.
