Yo' Bro

Yo' Bro

A top-down action game for the TurboGrafx-16 featuring a skateboarding bear that has to defeat B-movie monsters to save his town. Its soundtrack features synthesized versions of hit Beach Boys songs.

Overview

Players control Little Bro, a skateboarding, slingshot-wielding bear, as he fights to save California from monsters created by the sinister Dr. Liverhosen. He must defeat every monster on the stage before he can move onto the next, saving as many bystanders as possible along the way and avoiding his canine rival, who is also skateboarding around the level and can only be stunned temporarily with Little Bro's weapons.

Several different weapons are available, including various slingshots, grenades, a rocket launcher, and a freeze ray. Players can switch between weapons as they collect new ones. The player can also find bonus stages, which change the gameplay from the usual top-down skateboarding shooter to side-scrolling shoot 'em ups.
