The briefing

About this game

Krazy Kong is a platform game based on the arcade game Donkey Kong. Players must climb from the bottom of the screen to the top to rescue a princess held by a giant ape.

Gameplay

Progress requires climbing ladders and moving across platforms while avoiding or jumping over rolling barrels. Stars also travel upward from the bottom of the screen and must be avoided. Contact with a barrel or star costs one of three lives.

Later levels add moving platforms and spikes that should not be landed on.
