Swing from vines and traverse crocodile-infested rivers to rescue Penelope from a tribe of cannibals. Players must dodge rolling boulders and use a knife to fight off predators across four unique adventure experiences. These stages repeat with increasing difficulty, utilizing parallax scrolling to create a sense of depth during the side-scrolling platforming sequences.
