About this game

In Combat Crazy, you play the last remaining soldier on a mission to defeat Warbringer, the leader of an enemy army. Your route takes you through three large areas: a tropical rainforest, an underground labyrinth, and Warbringer’s fortress.

This platform shooter features scrolling movement in multiple directions. Shoot enemy soldiers with your rifle, throw limited grenades, collect additional grenades and bonuses, and use temporary shields or increased firepower to survive.

Each area must be completed within 16 minutes. To open the exit, you must locate two scattered parts of an H-Bomb. Weapons, bullets, spikes, water, and lava threaten your energy and lives, while a self-destruct option can eliminate everything on screen at the cost of one life. The game provides five lives and three credits to continue after game over.
