Jungle Ping

Jungle Ping is a demake of Jungle King an arcade game from 1982 where you play as Tarzan.

Go through 4 stages through the jungle to rescue your girl that was kidnapped by some tribal member with mask.

This is a good demake that is pretty accurate to the original game.

There are 4 Stages:

• Stage 1 – Swinging
  • Timing is crucial while jumping from vine to vine, try to focus on the speed and oscillation phases of the two. For instance jumping while the next vine is near might not be the best idea especially if it’s faster, use some anticipation. After a while it will become the easiest of the stages, even when monkeys will show up (they could look cute but no, not your friends).
• Stage 2 – Underwater
  • Use action button 🅾️/Z to stab the crocs but stay away when their mouth is fully opened! A minimum of 100pts + extra 100pts if the mouth is half open and stabbing them while deeper will gain extra 100pts.
    Air bubbles will drag you and push to the surface (you can’t move but can still stab at a slower pace).
    Important: as obvious as it could sound, you need to breathe! When the ‘diving’ indicator is low a warning sound will signal it’s time to come up to the surface and breathe some air.
• Stage 3 – Boulders
  • What can I say? Just survive, avoid the falling rocks. You can jump (200pts) or duck (100pts), in some case you could even just run below the boulders (50pts). On higher difficulty you will face more rocks at the same time as some will come down faster and even bouncing differently.
• Stage 4 – Cannibals
  • It is actually an easy stage when you find the right time to jump both and save the girl… but it will be probably cause troubles at first (in order to be prepared for this last stage, you might want to practice a little maybe? by selecting stage 4 in the main screen). At higher levels remember a third native will show up on the tree and throw his spear.
