Gameplay
In Jungler, the player controls a white, multi-segmented animal inside a blue maze. Also inside the maze are three enemy creatures similar to that of the player. The object of the game is to eliminate the enemy creatures before one of them eliminates the player. When all three enemies are defeated, the player advances to the next maze.
The enemy creatures appear in one of three colors: red, yellow or green. Red creatures are longer in length than the player, and as such a collision with the creature will cost the player one life. Yellow creatures are the same length as the player, thus posing no harm upon a collision. Green creatures are shorter than the player, and will be devoured by the player's creature if they collide.
Legacy
Much in the way that Space Panic remained obscure, but a home clone from Broderbund was a hit in the guise of Apple Panic, the Jungler concept found success in a computer clone, also from Broderbund: Serpentine. Squirm is a 1984 clone for the Commodore 64 by Mastertronic.
