What happens if I lose all my lives?
The game ends, and you'll need to restart from the beginning. Practice your timing to conserve lives for later stages!
Can I attack while jumping?
No, jumping is purely for evasion. You must land before executing punches or kicks. Use jumps strategically to avoid knives and diving enemies.
How do I deal with enemies coming from both sides?
Quickly alternate between left and right attacks while positioning yourself near walls. Crouching attacks are effective against low-approaching foes.
