About this game
Armadillo gives its hero two movement forms. B changes between the armadillo and a ball, while holding the jump button changes jump height. In ball form, bouncing becomes part of the movement. The round map has its own pursuit: the boss moves around, while the player advances by crushing tiles that the boss can no longer enter. Marked action stages must be cleared along the way. Reaching the boss’s tile starts the confrontation, connecting the map chase to the platform action.
