Wild animals are closing in from both sides. The player can move vertically, and fire horizontally left and right. The goal is to shoot all the animals, but if a bullet misses, it hits the edge of the screen and ricochets. This can cause the player to shoot their self. Snakes appear that rapidly move across the screen, and must avoid shooting baboons. If the player is hit three times it's game over.
