Description
This is a
platformer where the player controls Mr. Do, a clown character,
in a castle against unicorn-like dragons. The player's
main weapon is Mr. Do's hammer that is used to break through
floor blocks and can also be used to hammer down walking
enemies or enemies stuck between floor slabs. The player can kill
enemies by either hitting them with the hammer while they
stand on a block (only works in levels 1 & 2) or by hammering
a block directly above them. The player has to kill all enemies
in order to advance to the next level. There are keys in blocks
that are used to open the door at the top that has a shield that
makes all enemies temporarily vulnerable. The player has to get
all 3 keys to open the door. After they become vulnerable,
each one has a letter that spells "EXTRA" on them.
After every letter picked up, a flag will go up with that letter,
and there is
probably a bonus, like an extra life, if the player spells
"EXTRA". Sometimes a diamond will appear that will give
the player
an additional game credit if he gets it. The enemies also change
colors at times, and get stronger. They usually turn green
first, and then eventually turn blue, where they become much
stronger. It becomes harder to kill them when they're blue, but
if it's done, the player will get triple the amount of points for
doing so. The player also gets more points the further an enemy
on a falling block that was hammered by the player drops. This is
the sequel to Mr. Do! &
the 2nd title in the series.
