How to Play The Tick
Quick start
Guide the Tick through long side-scrolling stages packed with Chairface Chippendale’s henchmen. Use basic punches to build safe combos, jump over low hazards, and clear enemies before advancing so attacks do not come from both sides. Collect health and extra-life items hidden off the direct route.
Controls
D-pad: move, crouch, or climb. B: punch and continue a combo. C: jump; press attack in the air for a jumping blow. A: use a stronger or context attack when available. Start: pause. Move close to enemies for grabs or throws and break objects to reveal items.
