*TIPS*
(1) This game differs to many adventure games out there. Instead of reaching an end point, your goal is to collect all the gems within that level. When collected, you’ll be either flown to the next or make your way to the end of level boss. Defeat the boss and you'll progress to the next level!
(2) Along the way you'll come across sunflowers. In fact, you'll generally stand next to one at the beginning of each level. Half way through the level, there is an additional flower for you to touch. If touched the flower will rotate, meaning when/if you die during that level, you’ll respawn at the farthest sunflower you managed to get to!
(3) If you collect the shovel during a level, you’ll gain access to a bonus level after you complete that level!
(4) Mowgli icons give you an extra life!
(5) Time is the silent killer in this game. You have a limited amount of it to collect the gems. If you run out of time, you lose a life! Luckily, all gems that you have collected up to that point will be retained. Collecting clocks will add an additional minute to the timer!
