The player takes on the role of a costumed hero navigating urban environments filled with metaphorical threats like viruses, misinformation, and risky behaviors.

The gameplay combines platforming, mini-games, and trivia segments, making it a mix of action and instruction.

The game introduces mechanics like timed decisions, quiz checkpoints, and basic combat against cartoonish enemies. Characters and events often reference real-world topics, but are presented in simplified form. Completion of each level requires reaching the exit and responding correctly to informational prompts placed throughout the map.
Design Intent and Replayability
Condom Man aims to deliver accurate health messaging in a format that holds attention. While levels follow a linear structure, the scoring system encourages players to replay them for better results and to uncover optional content. Different difficulty modes modify the speed, number of threats, and complexity of questions, allowing the game to be used in both casual and instructional settings. The combination of light gameplay and structured messaging creates an experience that balances entertainment with purpose, without relying on heavy-handed storytelling.
