Step into the boots of Serious Sam's most iconic foe, the Headless Kamikaze, and chase down the vile Serious Sam in this action packed arcade runner
The gameplay puts you in the role of the Headless Kamikaze, Serious Sam's iconic enemy. Your objective is to chase down and catch up to the protagonist, Serious Sam, while navigating a series of perilous levels.
You can execute a double jump, allowing for nimble platforming across the levels. The core gameplay mechanic is the ability to repeatedly kick obstacles like rockets, bombs, cacti, and other hazards out of your way. However, kicking fills a rage meter, and if it maxes out, you'll explode, costing you a life.
Successfully navigating each level requires carefully balancing jumping over obstacles and kicking them away. Rockets, bouncing bombs, and environmental dangers constantly appear, forcing you to time your jumps and kicks precisely to avoid taking damage. The randomly generated layouts ensure each run presents a unique challenge.
In addition to the primary goal of catching up to Serious Sam, each level has secondary objectives like destroying a certain number of obstacles or juggling bombs. Completing these bonus challenges increases your score multiplier, catering to players who enjoy mastering the game's mechanics for high-score chasing.
Beyond the 40-level campaign, the game offers three endless modes that test your reflexes and ability to maintain your combo multiplier for as long as possible, providing endless replayability.
The simple two-button control scheme (jump and kick) makes the game easy to pick up and play, appealing to both casual and experienced gamers. You can comfortably play with either a controller or keyboard and mouse, providing flexibility for different input preferences.
