# Karate Kido

## **Game principles**

\
The principle of the game is simple. You control a karate master chopping down a pole.\
Every punch destroys a part of the wooden pole. You need to be careful to avoid the wooden sticks. If your character is hit by a stick, it's game over!\
\
There is also a timer for the gameplay, and each punch adds more time to it. Playing too slowly means you can run out of time.\
\
During the game, you can gain power-ups, depicted as lamps.<br>

## **Power-ups**

* **Time Freeze** – freeze the timer for a short time
* **God Mode** – activate a mode where the character automatically punches, quickly and without mistakes
* **Extra Time** – refill the timer
* **Double Score** – double your points for a short time

\
**Score system**
----------------

* You gain 10 score points for each punch.&#x20;
* If the Double Score power-up is active, it's 20 points per punch.&#x20;
* Special blocks can also change the score.

\
**Special blocks**
------------------

* **Ice** – punch twice to destroy it, but gain only 10 pts
* **2x** – punch twice to destroy it and gain 20 pts
* **3x** – punch three times to destroy it and gain 30 pts

## **Possible ends of the game**

* **Game Over** – the character was hit by a stick
* **Times Up** – the timer ran out of time
* **Success** – the player survived until the end
