Prehistorik Man

Screenshots1 / 2

A caveman character stands on the left side of a pixelated ice or rocky terrain, facing right toward several white ghost-like enemies scattered across the upper portion of the screen. The background features a blue night sky with layered parallax scrolling showing distant terrain. The HUD displays three red health bars in the top-left corner, a score counter reading "0" at top-center, and "SHORT" with a number in the top-right. The sprite work shows 16-bit SNES-era resolution with a cool color palette of blues and whites dominating the icy level setting.
