Overview
Description

Tork, a brave cave boy, journeys through time to rescue his kidnapped father and rebuild his shattered village. Harnessing the power of three spirit animals—a yeti, an armadillo, and a flying squirrel—he confronts dinosaurs, gargoyles, robots, and more across wildly varied eras. The game blends classic side‑scrolling platform action with inventive animal‑based abilities, challenging environmental hazards, and boss encounters, taking players from the Stone Age to a fantastical age of machines.

Dusty returns home with an enchanted Totem Pole, unleashing restless spirits that create a bizarre parallel universe. Lowman, the Totem's head, animates a pencil named Woody, who must travel dimension by dimension to round up the rogue totem brothers and save the world. In this side‑scrolling platformer, Woody defeats enemies by jumping on them or using his eraser, erases walls and teleporting boxes, and can sketch temporary allies—though sketching shrinks him quickly, making power‑ups essential for survival.
