You play a newborn lizard learning to crawl. Escape the pit where you hatched to the oasis where other lizards are lounging. There are only four keys and each key pushes off the following legs

E - left front
R - right front
J - left rear
K - right rear

Press E+R to push off the front legs then J+K to propels with the rear legs to initiate a jump.

While the front legs are in the air with the rear legs grounded E or R turns the torso.

Alternate J then K presses in succession for easy movement forward.

Alternating E+K then R+J presses successively can gain speed (in a straight line) and can help cover ground faster or get up steep hills..

Going down hill is easier than crawling uphill so don't burn out mountain climbing. Try to get decent at jumping as it can help get out of tight jams.

The game doesn't end proper so if you get to the end of the level you technically win. It will be difficult but when you climb over it'll be so worth it ;)

Spacebar can brake if the character is sliding but only slightly. Any movement stops braking.
