Start out with a 3D side view
In the early going, your camera view is reminiscent of the original game, but that quickly changes.
Over the shoulder
Most of the game you'll be looking over Pitfall Harry's shoulder as you jump, slide, and weave around corners.
Ride the Jaguar!
If you find a gold token on your run, you'll get to ride a jaguar that takes you past obstacles while you get a rest.
Costume changes cost you
With the right amount of treasure, you can choose from several different costumes to give Pitfall Harry a complete makeover.
Into the caverns
The environments change the farther you progress. Is that a mine cart ahead?
Time for a rough ride
Once in the cart, you'll still need to duck under obstacles, swipe to switch tracks, and jump over broken tracks.
The ride gets rougher
Soon you'll be riding over lava, but watch out: there are breaks in the tracks where you'll need to swipe up to jump.
