A classic side-scrolling beat 'em up where players control military prisoners fighting their way out of an enemy capture camp.
Opens the game player in a new browser tab.
Navigate through hostile military environments using basic combat moves including punches, kicks, and jump attacks. You can perform a quick back-attack to strike enemies sneaking up behind you, or execute a jump kick to knock down groups of incoming soldiers. Keep an eye out for enemies carrying weapons; defeating them allows you to pick up knives and machine guns to increase your offensive range and power.
Positioning is key to survival, as enemies will attempt to surround you from both sides. Conserve your ammunition for heavy machinery and boss fights at the end of each area. Prioritize taking out armed guards first to prevent them from shooting you from a distance.
