[=KickMaster=] is a 2D Platformer. You take control of Thonolan as he battles Belzed's minions with his kicking abilities. But kicking isn't all Thonolan can do to survive. Along the way he will learn different magical spells that give him an extra edge, like health restoration, magic projectiles, flight, and more. There are also some slight RPGElements, as Thonolan can gather experience from killing enemies to level up and learn more advanced and powerful kicking moves.
