Gameplay

Whomp 'Em offers traditional platform gameplay, where players traverse various levels, defeating enemies and collecting power-ups. However, what sets the game apart is its unique tomahawk weapons, which can be upgraded with new abilities. The game encourages exploration, with each level hiding secrets and challenges.

The game is known for its difficulty and requires players to perform precise jumps and attacks. Enemies often appear unexpectedly, and some obstacles require exceptional agility. The game also features a health system based on hearts, similar to The Legend of Zelda series, where players can increase their health by collecting additional hearts.

Each of the game's six levels represents different environments, such as caves, forests, mountains, skies, and more. On each level, Soaring Eagle must overcome various obstacles and enemies using his spear and acquired powers. After defeating a boss at the end of each level, similar to the Mega Man series, Soaring Eagle gains a new power that helps him in the further stages of the game.
