Game Introduction

The game has two joysticks: one that moves the hunter up, down, left and right and another that makes him shoot with his rifle.

Game Play

There is a 90 second time limit in each round. The hunter must shoot the animals as they approach him to score points before they get him. There are four different animals who attack and each of them have different point values:

  • 100 points for snakes and lions
  • 200 points for wild boars
  • 300 points for vultures

If an animal gets the hunter he will have to go to the hut nearby to recover and time will be lost for it. In the following rounds, the animals will eventually move faster as the difficulty in each round increases.

Safari KLOV/IAM 5 Point User Score: 0.00 (0 votes)

Personal Impressions and Technical Impressions each account for half of the total score. Within the Personal Impressions category, Like carries a little more weight than the other factors.
