Playing the ThunderCats Game
What is a Platform Game?
ThunderCats is a 2D platform game. In these types of games, you usually jump between platforms. You also avoid obstacles and defeat enemies. It's all about moving your character through different levels.
Who Do You Play As?
In the ThunderCats game, you get to control Lion-O. He is the brave leader of the ThunderCats team. Lion-O uses his special weapon, the Sword of Omens, to fight bad guys.
How Lion-O Fights and Moves
As you play, you will guide Lion-O through many levels. Your goal is to defeat enemies and battle big bosses. Lion-O has several cool moves:
- He can slide along the ground.
- He can perform a double-jump to reach higher places.
- He can do a powerful downward stab attack.
- When his power bar is full, he can shoot a beam of light. This beam comes from the Eye of Thundera, which is in his sword's handle.
Calling on Your Friends
Lion-O doesn't have to fight alone! As you play and unlock them, you can call on other ThunderCats to help you. They will briefly assist Lion-O in battle. These helpful teammates include:
- Panthro
- Cheetara
- Tygra
- WilyKit and WilyKat
