Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2
About the Game
Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2 is a third-person perspective platform game and a sequel to the 2000 game Kao the Kangaroo . The game is about a young, cute, yellow kangaroo, who saves animals from the hands of the evil Hunter and his equally evil colleagues. In order to bribe the guard and get aboard Hunter's ship, Kao must collect lots of coins scattered throughout the game. The main character can fight with his boxing gloves and can throw lethal boomerangs.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Playing through the levels, players must jump over platforms, make difficult leaps, and fight about 30 different types of enemies, free captured friends and solve many puzzles. There are also stars - collecting 50 of them will upgrade one of Kao's abilities, e.g. giving him the ability to stomp on the ground to defeat enemies around him. A rarely encountered item is a winged helmet, which, when grabbed, allows Kao to fly for a short while.
