The briefing

About this game

Booby Kids is an action-puzzle game set in a prehistoric world inhabited by cavemen and dinosaurs. You play as a young boy who must collect every treasure in each level while avoiding deadly creatures.

Enemies can only be immobilized by placing a trap just before they reach you. Traps provide a short window to move safely, though the enemies emerge again after a few seconds. Levels become progressively more difficult, and touching an enemy results in death.
