Negotiate obstacles and hazards, solve puzzles, compete against ever tightening time and percentage limits, whilst avoiding all the traps and predators, and go on to finally defeat end of level boss modes to complete each world.

The game has instant pick up and play appeal with no instructions needed, and you can spend minutes or hours immersed in the game. However skill, timing, and dexterity are all required to navigate the 70 plus levels, spread across the 6 uniquely themed worlds.
