Fight crime while keeping your sidekick out of trouble!
Play as the powerful Red Ranger, a superhero who can leap tall buildings and subdue hardened criminals with a single punch, as he seeks to defeat his arch-nemesis Professor Purple. However, accompanying you is your clumsy sidekick Blue Boy, an inexperienced trainee out on his first superhero mission. Can you catch the nefarious Professor Purple while still keeping your sidekick alive?
Leap around a procedurally generated cityscape!
Bring Professor Purple to justice!
Keep your sidekick alive at all costs!
*Note: a small adjustment to the difficulty scaling was made after submission to allow more players to reach the final boss.*
