The Flash

## Description

_The Flash_ is a side-scrolling platformer starring the eponymous D.C. comics
hero. The game is divided into six rounds, each round has two stages and a
boss fight. Within each stage, Flash must get to the exit before the time
limit runs out, though the exit must first be unlocked by activating a switch.

Apart from a speedy protagonist, the game has some similarities to Sonic the
Hedgehog, as the levels have a similarly complex structure with different
passages and many optional areas.

While Flash moves very fast in general, he can also move with even higher
SuperSpeed, but only as long as the necessary SuperSpeed energy is not
drained. The energy is also used for performing vibrating attacks and can be
recharged by at Star Food vendors scattered in the levels. Vibrating attacks
can be used to destroy blocks (which contain either traps or power-ups) and to
get rid of bad guys. For the latter, Flash also has a spin attack. He can use
it only while moving, but no energy is required.
