The idea behind the game just doesn't justify the price-tag. Read Review

The game suffers very badly from lack of movement... After playing a couple of times it becomes monotonous. Read Review

Introduction

You need skill and speed, just to stay alive!

You're strolling through the jungle when you realise that you're not alone! Wild animals are closing in from both sides.

Fortunately you have a rifle with you (handy that!) and you must aim with speed and precision. But beware of shooting the baboons who must survive so that you can survive - nevertheless they are stil as dangerous as all the other animals including the pink elephants and green crocodiles.

Watch out for the slithering snake though, because he dashes about at random. And the heat can play tricks on your mind and some animals just seem to disappear or do they? Apart from the animals, screen after screen of them, getting faster and faster, you must be careful not to shoot yourself! A careless ricochet will mean the end of your safari.
