The game uses a classic side-scrolling perspective. Players move left and right, jump across gaps and hazards, and use a close-range bashing attack to defeat enemies or break through obstacles. Progression is stage-based, with 15 prehistoric levels combining platforming, enemy encounters, and environmental traps. The focus is on timing, route selection, and steady forward momentum rather than complex systems.

Characters
Bignose
The caveman protagonist who fights through dinosaur-filled stages using a signature bash attack.
Bignose's Girlfriend
The kidnapped girlfriend whose rescue drives the story forward.
Strategy
Keep moving and learn the reach of the bash attack so you can hit enemies before they crowd you. On narrow ledges, jump carefully and avoid rushing into groups. When enemies patrol fixed routes, bait them one at a time. Treat item pickups as safety insurance and preserve health for later stages with tighter platforming.

Tips and tricks
- Master the bash timing; stopping briefly before attacking helps with spacing.
- Be extra cautious on moving platforms and over pits, since most mistakes come from rushed jumps.
