Game Introduction

The hero of this game is Toki. He used to be a man, but was turned into a monkey by the sorcerer, Vookimedlo, who kidnapped his girlfriend, Miho. Toki can spit to kill enemies or he can jump on their heads. There are also the usual end-of-level baddies. If the hero is hit, a life will be lost.

Unlimited continues are available on all levels except for the last where only 10 are allowed. If Toki fails to defeat Vookimedlo and save Miho, Miho will remain a prisoner of Vookimedlo forever and the game will end. However, if Vookimedlo is defeated and Miho is saved, Toki will become a man again and he and his girlfriend will be reunited. Afterwards, the game ends.
