How it plays
How does Naughty Boy play?
Guide the character through the scrolling maze, avoid or outmaneuver the enemies, and reach the target area or clear the current round. The playfield scrolls as the character advances, so the next hazard may appear before the whole route is visible.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Naughty Boy?
Move in short controlled bursts, keep an escape route near the screen edge, and learn the round layout before chasing a distant objective. Watch the enemy entry points because scrolling can reveal a threat directly in the current lane.
