About The Game
Jungler is an arcade video game where the player controls a snake-like ship moving around a number of mazes chasing 3 similar computer controlled ships. Being hit by bullets reduces the length of the ships. Ships are destroyed either when their length is reduced to zero or when they collide with a longer ship.

Tips and tricks

- To shrink the opponents' worm down, shoot the tail.
