Karate Kido

Scoring system for Karate Kido on Arc8

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.

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.

• If the Double Score power-up is active, it's 20 points per punch.

• 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
