Gameplay[]

The objective of the game is to guide Bayou Billy in his quest to rescue his sweetheart, Annabelle, from the hands of mafia boss, Godfather Gordon. The game is controlled via a four-way directional pad for movement and jumping, as well as two buttons; the top button is for punching and the bottom one is for kicking. By tapping left, Billy can turn his head backward and punch and kick in that direction. The game starts on the swamplands of New Orleans and ends at Gordon's estate in the city. As Billy advances through the levels, snakes will constantly approach to bite him from different directions, so he has to either jump to evade them, or punch and kick them in their tracks, although these two latter options are much riskier and there is no reward for doing so. Billy starts the game with a 40 health points counter labeled "Player" on the HUD; every time he receives a hit, one point is deducted from it. If the counter reaches zero the game is over.

On each stage, Billy will eventually reach a couple of human boss enemies that can come from either the front or the rearguard. Whenever a boss is present, the "Enemy" counter on the HUD will display the amount of hit points they have. Billy has to trade punches, kicks and jumping kicks with this powerful enemy until their life counter reaches zero to defeat him; all this while snakes continue entering the screen.

After defeating the final boss of a level, the player's health is replenished by 20 points and they enter the next stage with increased difficulty. On following levels, enemies can come armed with scimitars and chains. There are also bonus stages between some levels.
