Enemies (Enemigos) patrol areas and aggro when you enter their range, they spawn in waves until cleared. Fight with bare fists for quick punches or grab weapons scattered around (over 50 types, like revolvers for shooting, chainsaws for spinning, or alligators for biting). Weapons break after use but enable flashy combos: chain attacks without pausing to build multipliers for more coins. Dodge rolls and jumps help evade projectiles. Bosses like Alpaca Jack require pattern recognition, such as luring them into traps.
