Kid Gloves

Kid Gloves is a colourful platform game centred on Kid’s journey to rescue his girlfriend. Its bright primary-colour presentation and smiling characters contrast with hazards including snakes, elves, crocodiles, flames, and spinning wheels.

The flick-screen levels can often be completed in different ways, affecting the starting position on the next screen. Players can also travel back through areas to collect bonuses that were not accessible at the beginning. Kid starts with a weak coin-throwing attack, while shops appearing every five screens offer better weapons, extra lives, and smart bombs. The game provides 10 lives, but losing one resets the current level to its original state.
