More about this game
Embark on an endless expedition through a dangerous, ever-expanding jungle. Your primary goal is to run as far as possible while surviving dinosaur attacks, lava pits, and deadly thorn traps. Collect glowing gems to purchase permanent upgrades like twin axes, faster movement, and extra health at the Tribal Shop. Every 1000 meters, you are trapped in an arena and must defeat a massive Stone Guardian boss to advance to the next difficulty tier. The run ends when you lose all your hearts.
Tips
- Save your gems for the Weapon Power upgrade early on; reaching level 2 unlocks twin axes, and level 4 unlocks triple axes, making it much easier to defeat enemies.
- Grab blue energy shields whenever they appear in the jungle. A shield blocks exactly one hit from any source, including devastating boss slams, and shatters upon impact.
- During boss fights, watch the guardian's movements carefully. When it prepares a charge attack, jump over it as it rushes past, then quickly throw axes to chip away its health.
Questions
How do I heal my character?
You can restore 2 hearts of health by collecting the red fruit that occasionally spawns on platforms in the jungle, or by picking up the fruit dropped after defeating a boss.
What happens when I defeat a boss?
Defeating a Stone Guardian boss increases the world tier. This makes enemies faster and more common, but it also multiplies the value of the gems you collect by 0.5 per tier.
Do my upgrades reset after I die?
No, the upgrades you buy at the Tribal Shop, such as Max Health, Weapon Power, and Swift Hunter, are completely permanent and persist across all your future runs.
