About the Game

Lee's sister has been kidnapped.
The Shadow Circus is in town.
This is not a coincidence.
Let's go rescue her.

Kung Fu Er San is a 2D retro pixel side-scrolling beat 'em up, inspired by classic games and martial arts films.
You take control of Lee Shao, a talented Shaolin Kung Fu Master whose sister has been kidnapped.
To rescue her, Lee must fight his way through side-scrolling levels full of traps, thugs, obstacles and surprises, and master his punches and kicks to defeat all the members of the Shadow Circus, a gang of evil circus artists, with crazy unique powers and fighting skills.
The path is arduous, so are the fights.
Do you think you have what it takes?
