About The Tick

The Tick for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System blends platforming and combat elements. Its perspective shifts between a standard side view during traversal and a semi-isometric angle when engaging in fights.

Players control the blue-suited hero through urban environments, navigating hazards and confronting various foes. The gameplay focuses more on brawling than traditional platforming, with numerous boss encounters. A character named Arthur can be summoned for assistance when facing multiple on-screen opponents.
