Karnov (US, rev 5) — About this game
Karnov (US, rev 5) follows a fire-breathing strongman through a treasure hunt across nine stages. Walking, jumping and projectile attacks carry him past monsters and terrain, while red orbs strengthen his breath until he can launch three fireballs together. Useful items found along the way provide further options for continuing the route. Each stage boss protects another piece of the treasure map, turning the adventure into a gradual assembly of the final destination. Learn the reach of the current fireball pattern before committing to a jump toward an enemy, and keep enough space to handle the next landing.
