Aban Hawkins ventures into the ruins of Ukampa, Antarctic wilderness, and South American caverns to find his missing father, archaeologist Jim Hawkins, and search for the legendary treasure behind the Golden Door of Poko-Mum.
Cross more than 100 short 2D platforming levels filled with spikes, falling rocks, and other traps. Study the terrain for clues, plan a route, and use precise jumps and movement to reach each exit; the game provides a large supply of lives for repeated attempts.
Progress through the adventure while unlocking secret characters with different abilities. The game also includes arcade modes and local co-op and versus play for up to four players.
Players who enjoy demanding platformers often praise the levels for turning trap-spotting and route planning into a test of precise execution. Several also enjoy the retro pixel art and chiptune music. The difficulty is a dividing point: some find the repeated attempts rewarding, while others see hidden traps and tight jumps as frustrating.
