The briefing

About this game

Congo Bongo is an arcade platform game with an isometric perspective. Players control a safari hunter pursuing Bongo, an ape blamed for setting the hunter’s tent on fire.

The game features four one-screen stages, each focused on jumping across platforms and reaching the top. Animals and environmental hazards stand in the way, including a gorilla that throws coconuts in the first stage. Without offensive abilities, the hunter must rely on jumping and evasion to survive.
