Bonk uses powerful head-butts to blast enemies off the screen and navigate through Dinosaur Land. Players can spring off local wild flowers to gain altitude for better positioning during platforming sequences. This action-platformer requires using the character's head to knock back beasts and navigate various environments to reach the Moon Princess.
