More about this game
Your goal is to survive as long as possible in an endless jungle while gathering gems to buy permanent upgrades. The core loop involves running left or right, jumping over lava pits, sliding under thorns, and throwing axes to defeat dinosaurs. As you travel further, the difficulty increases, boosting enemy speed by 18 percent and hazard spawns by 10 percent per tier. Every 1000 meters, you face a stone guardian boss fight in a sealed arena. A run ends when you lose all your heart containers.
Tips
- Save 4 gems to buy the first Weapon Power upgrade, which increases your axe damage; reaching tier 2 unlocks a twin-axe throw.
- When facing a stone guardian boss every 1000 meters, wait for its charge or slam attack to finish before throwing your axes at it.
- Look out for energy shields on the ground; picking one up surrounds you with an aura that completely absorbs one enemy hit or hazard collision.
Questions
How do I heal during a run?
You can restore health by collecting red fruit found floating throughout the jungle. Each fruit restores 2 hearts to your vitality meter.
What happens when I defeat a boss?
Defeating a boss drops 8 to 14 gems and 2 fruits. It also increases the world tier, which makes enemies faster and spawns more hazards, but boosts your gem reward multiplier by 0.5 per tier.
How do the achievements work?
You unlock badges by completing specific tasks like clearing lava pits or defeating bosses. Claiming an unlocked badge gives you bonus gems and helps you reach the next achievement tier for bigger rewards.
