About this game
Higgins explores islands to rescue Jeannie, using weapons and friendly dinosaurs found inside eggs. The dinosaur types have different movement and attacks, including flight, swimming or travelling over lava, so a helper can change how you approach an area. Energy drains as you play and food replenishes it. At an area’s start, the selection screen lets you use stored equipment. Continuing after losing all lives preserves that stored stock, making collected supplies part of the next attempt as well.
