About this game

Kool-Aid Man is an adventure and stealth game in which children move through a house while avoiding roaming Thirsties.

Gameplay

The children initially move together. If one is attacked, they separate and are controlled one at a time. A child is out after being attacked twice, and the game ends if both children are eliminated.

Once sugar, Kool-Aid, and a pitcher are placed near the kitchen sink, Kool-Aid Man appears under the player's control. He can collect roaming fruit and destroy the Thirsties. Defeating the Thirsties completes the round, after which the game restarts at a higher difficulty unless “kiddy mode” was selected.
