IRON JUNGLE: how to play and score

One commando against a biomechanical fortress. Run, leap and fire in eight directions as the camera pushes on. One hit costs a life and your weapon, so shoot the pods and sensor boxes for Wave, Laser, Flame and Rapid upgrades. Every stretch ends at a gate that opens only to fight back.

GET STARTED

Run right and shoot everything. You can fire in eight directions: hold up or down with a direction to aim diagonally, and lie flat with down to duck under shots. The camera only moves forward, so what you pass is gone.

BUILD A STRATEGY

One hit costs a life and your weapon. Shoot flying capsules and open sensor boxes, then touch the pod they drop: W is the five-way Wave gun, L is a piercing Laser, F is a curling Flame and R makes any gun faster.

MANAGE YOUR RESOURCES

Pits are a lost life. Jump across and use ledges, and press down and jump to drop through a ledge. Snipers aim right at you and turrets take several hits. You earn an extra life every 30,000 points.

FINISH STRONG

Each stretch ends at a fortress gate that can only be hurt while its eye is open. It fires orbs and sends troopers, so stay mobile and shoot when it opens. Every fifth stage ends at a living heart.
