Bonk: Brink of Extinction

Platform

Fantasy

A stone-age take on the platformer, this game's core revolves around a simple, yet satisfying, head-bonking mechanic. Bonk's ability to leap, clobber enemies, and smash through obstacles with his oversized cranium provides a gleeful sense of momentum. The vibrant, prehistoric environments and the satisfying thud of each successful headbutt make for a charming, albeit simple, experience that's immediately approachable.

About Bonk: Brink of Extinction

Details
It is the start of a new age and Bonk has returned at the turn of the tide as the world faces extinction. Our loveable caveman is back and has brought his huge head with him. A doomsday comet, surrounded by smaller chunks of debris, is on a collision course with Earth. A strange magnetic field around the comet seems to be driving most of the planet's weak-willed creatures crazy, and smaller bits of debris are smashing into the jungle near Bonk's home. Bonk must undertake a perilous journey that will take him to the very center of the planet to save the world.
