About this game

Kangaroo is an action platform game in which Mama Roo must climb ladders and platforms to rescue Baby Roo from a group of monkeys.

Monkeys attack by throwing or dropping apples and trying to knock Mama Roo from the platforms. Her boxing gloves let her defeat them with a single punch. Collecting fruit along the way awards bonus points.
