About this game
Guide the island hero through enemies and traps using running, jumping and any weapon you obtain. The energy meter drains as time passes, so safe movement must also keep you close to food: fruit restores some energy, while milk fills the meter. Eggs contain useful finds, including a stone axe or skateboard. The skateboard increases speed but cannot stop, changing how you approach the next obstacle. Progress combines judging jumps with deciding how to handle the items you uncover.
