Red Feud

The player controls Red Beard, a running, jumping, and slicing protagonist on a mission to rescue innocent Junior from Fred the sinister clown, who has kidnapped him. While the motivations are somewhat obtuse, the interface is practically instinctive; navigating the game's varied platform environments (and engaging their varied hostile denizens, including bosses) maintains a cartoony 8-bit console platform feel down to the refillable heart containers.

Red Beard can't storm Fred's castle immediately but must traverse a platformy landscape of yawning frogs, snoring dragons and banana-hurling monkeys (ingrates!), completing areas in the right sequence in order to overcome locked-door puzzles and obtain necessary power-ups.
