Jungle Warfare

Jungle Warfare is a rail shooter where you play a commando ordered to traverse enemy jungle territory, fend off hostile fire, and destroy a series of enemy bases to reach safe ground . The gameplay revolves around directing an on-screen cursor to shoot at enemies that appear from the foliage, from behind trees, and from enemy encampments. Stronger enemies and commanders require multiple hits before they are destroyed . You must also collect ammunition along the way by shooting ammo crates, or you will soon run out of bullets . Some enemy snipers are well camouflaged and difficult to spot, while heat-seeking missiles are particularly dangerous and must be shot down quickly . You have three lives to complete your mission.
