Gameplay

The player controls a Neanderthal called Ungh. He was responsible for guarding the village flame, however, on his first night of work, the fire fizzles out, and because of that, Ungh is banned from the village. The protagonist's objective is to find the fire to return to his village.[1] The game is made up of ten scenarios. To advance in level, the player must solve the puzzles.[5]

Reception

Jose A. Rodríguez, from IGN España, praised the game's graphic art and soundtrack, however, he pointed out as negative points the lack of dialogues, the excessive ease to complete the levels and the short duration of the game.[7] Liam Doolan of Nintendo Life also praised the graphics but wrote that the game has an insipid offer: "Right down to the name, it makes little effort to stand out from the crowd".[1]
