The briefing

About this game

Jungler is an arcade maze action game in which you control a snake-like creature and attempt to destroy three enemy creatures before they kill you.

Gameplay

Enemies appear in red, yellow, and green, with each color representing a different length and threat. Red creatures are longer than the player and can kill them in a head-on collision. Yellow creatures are the same length and are harmless, while green creatures are shorter and can be destroyed by colliding with their heads.

Enemies can also be shot. Hitting an enemy's tail reduces its length by one segment, while smaller creatures move faster and are more difficult to catch. Fruit appears at random locations and increases the player's size, but enemy fire can reduce it.
