The briefing

About this game

Kid Chaos is an action-platform game in which a stone-age hero is transported into an unknown future world by evil scientists. To return home, he must fight through artificial environments and reach the time machine.

Gameplay

Each level requires Kid to destroy wildlife and designated destruction targets before the exit door opens. He attacks by swinging his club, while high-speed movement can reveal hidden passages containing apples and power-ups. High jumps may also lead to secret areas and elevated platforms.

The game includes five environments, each divided into four sections, for a total of 20 levels. Kid begins each level with three lives. Losing health through contact with wildlife or running out of time sends him back to a checkpoint and costs a life.

Environments and Progression

Locations include the Secret Garden, Toxic Wasteland, Toy Factory, Techno Fortress, and Ruined City. Apples restore health, although they become less common as the game progresses. Power-ups can provide extra lives, time, or health, and collecting three life tokens within one section awards an additional life.

After completing a level, a statistics screen records destruction progress, wildlife defeated, apples collected, and other accomplishments.
