Adventure Ho!

You control your chosen hero through a series of side-scrolling levels, moving left and right to punch and slash at waves of cartoon enemies. The main objective is to fight through ten areas to rescue a princess. Along the way, you collect gold from defeated foes and broken objects, which you can spend between levels on new weapons, armor, and permanent upgrades for your health or damage. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty comes from managing your limited gold for the right upgrades while dealing with increasingly tricky enemy patterns. It feels like a quick, satisfying arcade challenge where every coin matters.
