Gameplay

The game uses a side-scrolling view with linear stages that mix walking, jumping, attacking, and avoiding traps. Rick can punch, kick, and use picked-up melee weapons against zombies, monsters, and bosses. Progress is stage-based and heavily dependent on spacing, timing, and surviving crowded encounters in tight corridors and hazard-filled rooms.

Characters

Rick

The protagonist, revived by the Terror Mask and driven to rescue Jennifer.

Jennifer

Rick's girlfriend and the person he is trying to save.

Terror Mask

The mysterious mask that grants Rick his power and defines the series.

Strategy

Keep moving to avoid being cornered, especially in narrow hallways. Use jump attacks to stay safer against groups and approach enemies from angles that reduce risk. Learn boss patterns before committing to extended attacks. Save health and extra lives whenever possible, since later stages are punishing.

Cheats

No cheats or unlockables available

Tips

Tips and tricks

  • Jump attacks are often safer than standing still and trading hits.
  • Take out ranged enemies first whenever possible.
  • Be careful near edges and pits, since knockback can be deadly.
