The purpose of the game is to get home as quickly as possible from the depths of the Jungle.

To achieve this goal you must first cross the river using the stepping stones to avoid the crocodile, and then carry your axe to the forest.

Here you must chop down the trees, but watch out for the monkeys who will snatch your axe.  When all the trees have been felled you must swing over the pit of fire and run home

PLAYING INSTRUCTIONS

First you must fetch your axe by moving right, into the edge of the screen. A magnified view of your axe appears along the bottom of the screen. To jump over the stepping stones you must have the longest run up possible, and press the jump key as you approach the edge of the land.

If you fall in the water you will lose your axe and may be eaten by the crocodile.

To climb to the next level position your man at the bottom of the ladder and then press the move-up key.

To fell a tree stand beside it end repeatedly press the chop key.  When the tree is about to fall it will shake and you must move from under it.

To swing across the fire pit stand on the centre of the rim and press the jump key to grab the rope. 

As soon as you land then run for home. Press the jump key at the last moment to jump the opening chasm and keep running for home when you land. It you fall through then try again.

When you reach home, if you have achieved a good time the game will end.

GOOD LUCK!
