The briefing

About this game

Aztec Challenge is an arcade-style action platform game published by COSMI. The player controls a continuously running Aztec warrior and must cover as much distance as possible while avoiding dangerous terrain.

Gameplay

Movement is centered on three jump heights: low, medium, and high. Obstacles include platforms, ceilings, pits, spikes, staggered steps, and other hazards. Touching the landscape outside the path costs a life and returns the player to the last checkpoint. The character’s speed increases as levels progress.

In two-player mode, each player controls a differently colored warrior, with one character running ahead of the other.
