You need to shoot at all of the animals that threaten to touch you... Holding down the fire key throughout was preferable to pressing it over and over. Read Review

Full Instructions
Introduction
Into darkness I must go
To find my beloved taken from me
The jungle deep the rivers flow
what lies ahead I cannot see.
Into darkness I must go
This jungle has a thousand eyes
Without a gun or deadly bow
I wander under angry skies.
Adventurer Stan - 06.11.1937
The Quest
The temple deep in darkness waits Eight locks holding its ancient gates These precious masks may hold the key In chests kept secret from eyes to see
With stone dagger star and tooth Search far and deep to learn the truth His loved one waits scared and alone Beneath a throne of skull and bone
