The briefing

About this game

Kung Fu Master is a side-scrolling action game loosely based on a movie. One or two players take turns guiding Thomas, a kung-fu master and restaurant owner, through Mr. X’s castle to rescue the captured pickpocket Sylvia.

Thomas can move, jump, duck, punch, and kick his way past opponents on each floor. Enemy projectiles such as knives can be kicked back toward their attackers, while a floor boss awaits at the end of each level. Mr. X resides at the top of the castle.
