The Jungle Book is an action-platformer that saw release on the Sega Game Gear and Sega Genesis in 1994.
+ Has great graphics and playful ideas, such as being able to launch yourself off crocodile snouts to reach higher platforms.
+ Scene 8 has some awesome parkour elements where you need to string together several moves in quick succession.
+ Being able to pan the camera up / down is handy, as you can safely dispatch enemies on different platform levels.
- There's a small, but noticeable delay when pressing jump, and later levels have bottomless pits that rely on trial-and-error.
- In some scenes, it's not always clear what's part of the background or foreground, resulting in missed platform jumps.
- Occasionally, the Boomerang weapon can take an eternity to work its way back, and the game's ending is lacklustre.
