Karate Joe — About this game
Begin by learning the reach of a basic strike against the first opponent. Advance in short steps, turn toward the next threat and leave room to recover after an attack. A crowded screen is easier to read when you separate one enemy from the rest instead of swinging constantly while moving into the group.
