Burning Fight (prototype, ver 23.3, 910326) [Prototype]

Getting Started

When you boot the prototype, you're taken straight to a character select screen. The final game offers three playable fighters: a kickboxer (Billy), a Chinese martial artist (Chen), and a mysterious stranger (Duke). This prototype likely includes the same roster, so pick one and press Start (Enter).

The core loop is simple: walk left to right through urban stages, punching and kicking the thugs that come at you. Use the A button (X) to jump and the B button (S) to attack. You can also run by double-tapping left or right. The goal is to clear each screen of enemies before moving on. Prototype differences may include unfinished enemy placements or slightly different damage values, but the flow will feel familiar to any beat 'em up fan.

If you're new to the genre, remember to watch your health bar and grab weapons like knives or pipes when you see them. The prototype saves your high score locally but won't have the final version's attract mode or credits. Just enjoy this early slice of SNK's brawler history.
