School Hero is a classic side-scrolling 2D beat 'em up game where you play as the titular character, Hero, on a mission to rescue his girlfriend from a rival school. Along the way, you'll encounter and battle a diverse range of opponents, from nerds to football players and cheerleaders, in your quest to save her.

Additionally, a suite of minigames provides a fun break from the constant brawling, adding depth and variety to the game.
