Gameplay
Freddy hardest is split into two chapters.
Chapter One
Guide Freddy along the surface of the moon, avoiding patrolling aliens.
Use the Duck/down key to make Freddy crouch. While Freddy is crouching, press the Fire key to shoot Freddy’s blaster.
When Freddy is not ducking, press the Fire key to perform a kick. Press the Fire key and right to punch, press the Fire key and left to parry, blocking incoming attacks. Aliens patrol the surface of the moon - if an alien touches Freddy, he will lose a life and respawn at the last checkpoint.
Freddy can jump over caverns on the surface of the moon - holding jump will allow Freddy to leap higher.

Story
Freddy Hardest, after one of his “Little Parties” sets off on a blast through the Milky Way to play space invaders with a meteorite storm.
Obviously this amusement couldn’t have a happy ending and our hero collides with a meteorite, crash landing on the moon of the planet TERNAT, site of the alien base of KALDAR.
Bruised but laughing, Freddy scrambles out of the wrecked craft but it slowly dawns on him that his predicament is pretty serious — he needs to survive long enough to source some alternative transport and hi-jack it to make good his escape.
