How to play Super Pelican
Super Pelican is a free retro platformer you play in your browser. The Ultramen have locked Dario in the Ultra Fortress, and the pelican has to run, jump and stomp through three courses, World 1-1 to World 1-3, to bring him home.
Controls
- Left and right arrows: move.
- Space: jump. Hold it longer to jump higher.
- Shift: run, and spit fish once you have the power.
- Down arrow in mid-air: ground pound.
- P: pause.
On a phone, use the on-screen pad: the arrows move, A jumps and B runs or spits fish.
Power-ups and enemies
Hit the ? blocks from below. A Tibo pops out of some of them: eat one and the pelican grows big enough to take a hit, eat a second and it learns to spit fish at enemies. Ultramen go down when you land on their heads. Stomp one and it curls into a timer ball that you can kick into its friends.
Scoring tips
- Chain stomps without touching the ground. Each stomp in a chain is worth more, from 100 points up to 8,000, and a long enough chain gives an extra life.
- Coins are worth 200 points each, and every 100 coins gives an extra life.
- You start with three lives, and each course has a clock, so do not dawdle.
- Land a ground pound next to a group of Ultramen: the shockwave flips the ones nearby into timer balls.
High scores
Your best game goes onto the daily and all-time tables. Before it counts, the server replays the whole game from your button presses, so a score on the board is a score someone actually played. The daily table resets at midnight UTC.
