As The Tick, you have powers and abilities unknown to mortal men (After all, you are a 7 foot tall, 400 pound Arachnid). You’re strong enough to use the city as your personal gym without a care in the world… until those pesky ninjas, hoods and clowns pick ou as their target. It’s time to jump into action and destroy these bad guys once and for all! The game is very typical for the side-scrolling genre.
However, it turns into a semi-isometric view like in Streets of Rage once enemies appear on the screen. The Tick’s signature humor is also present in various parts of the game, such as his unorthodox gestures and “Spoon!” battle cry after completing a level (and starting a level in the Genesis version). 44 levels make up the game with “wobble” environments and arcade style graphics.
