Kung Fu Hustle

You control a lone fighter in a side-scrolling street. The core action is swinging him around with the mouse to build momentum, then releasing to send him flying into groups of enemies with a punch or a kick. Your main goal is to clear each stage of thugs, using the environment and timing to hit multiple opponents at once. The mechanics are physical; you can latch onto lampposts or walls to change direction, and a well-timed strike creates a satisfying chain reaction. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty comes from managing your swings while avoiding getting surrounded. It feels like controlling a human pinball in a chaotic, cartoon fight.
