Little Red Hood is an obscure, unlicensed action game released for the NES. Developed by Joy Van and published in Australia by HES, it takes extreme liberties with the classic fairy tale. You guide Little Red Riding Hood through baffling, maze-like environments where survival relies on kicking enemies, collecting scattered fruit, and finding hidden shops to buy weapons and progress.
How to play
Your goal is to clear enemies, collect items, and uncover the hidden staircase in each stage to advance. The game’s logic can be confusing, so exploring every tile is key.
- D-pad (Arrow Keys): Move
- A Button (Z): Jump
- B Button (X): Attack (Kick or use equipped weapon)
- Start (Enter): Pause
- Select (Shift): Select
Tips
- Your default attack is a close-range kick. Use it to defeat enemies and earn money.
- Finding shops is essential. You will need to buy items to survive later stages.
- If you cannot find the exit, try attacking or walking into every tree, rock, or piece of sceneryโstaircases are often hidden under ordinary tiles.
