Game Features

Inly Essence is a fighting arcade game enriched with RPG elements and a non-linear storyline.

Objective

The primary goal is to survive and defeat the Boss, a dark and monstrous creature hidden deep underground, spreading an infectious rage disease. Players must navigate through 15 levels, each filled with challenges, to reach and destroy the Boss and his minions.

Character Attributes

The game features seven key character attributes:

1. Speed
2. Vitality
3. Rage
4. Injury
5. Strength
6. Madness
7. Bloodiness

These attributes are also applicable to the Boss and his minions, although they are slightly weaker, compensated by their numbers.

Controls

The game can be controlled using a standard key layout or a joystick:

• 4: Move backward
• 6: Move forward
• 7, 9: Hit
• 1, 3: Kick
• 5: Interact with the environment (use) or perform a superkick (if the rage level is sufficient)
