Yōkai Dōchūki

## Description

Tarosuke has died and now must cross the purgatory as depicted in Buddhist
lore, fighting enemies and advancing in his path towards ultimate redemption.
Depending on just how well he behaves in this afterlife you can see up to 5
different endings, which involve everything from re-incarnation to eternal
damnation in hell.

_Y ōkai Dōchūki_ plays as a side-scrolling action platformer, in which you
control Tarosuke as he jumps around the game world, avoiding pitfalls and
other traps. Enemies can be defeated by the use of a ki-based projectile
attack and, once defeated, monsters leave behind money which can be exchanged
in-game for health and other unique power-ups. Bosses are based on several
Buddhist tales; being much too powerful for Tarosuke, he must invoke his
guardian spirit to defeat such demons, which involves finding a shrine and
praying until it is summoned.
