Overplay

The Tick must fight through a number of his most famous villains as he attempts to clean up the mean streets of his native The City. The gameplay follows the classic brawler format, beating up several criminals in each area before being allowed to progress to the next.

Gameplay

The Tick plays like a typical brawler game. The player has a punch and kick button that can be used to defeat enemies. In addition, the player can collect a power-up where a partner will come to offer aid by covering The Tick's back. The player can also use a special move where The Tick calls for assistance from his flying friend Arthur, and Arthur will come sweeping down clearing the screen of enemies.
