JUNGLE TROUBLE SOLUTION/GUIDE
=============================

For those people who are having trouble with this game, 
here is the solution
(HINT: Play using skill level 4.  Its slower and easier.):

No doubt you played the game and have almost decomposed 
into a puddle of goo trying to figure out what the 
riddles written on the old note mean, and how to get past 
anything at all in the game.  Well, I shall attempt to explain.

'Thy timing shall be put to test'
'The cursor keys will aid thy quest'

The first riddle tells you that timing is critical
for the whole game and only the cursor keys are 
needed.  There are no fire keys or anything else 
like that.

'A friend awaits, set thy sights east'
'Each westward bound, avoids the beast'

The second riddle tells you go right (east)
and grab an axe as it will be helpful to you.
Then to jump the stones.  This can be tough.
You must run left and as soon as he is at the edge 
of the riverbank, quickly let go of LEFT and press UP.
Then you must time each and every bound by pressing 
UP when he lands on each stone or else you are gator 
chow.  This is a real beggar to do, and even annoys 
the hell out of me.

'With every swing, thy axe degrades'
'Risk beast and lake, to get more blades'

The third riddle is pretty straight forward.
When the axe becomes blunt, go back and get another.
Heres a hint when it comes to chopping the trees.
If you let go of the LEFT key as the axe makes contact,
the guy will reset back to his original position.
Keep doing this and you will chop faster, rather than
just holding down LEFT.
Just watch out when the tree falls OK.  Accidents have 
been known to happen when great big heavy trees fall 
on human beings...or monkeys for that matter! ;)

'BEWARE the path the monkeys tread!'
'If not thy axe they'll take thy head!'

This riddle is also straight forward.
If you dont have an axe for Mr chimp then you shall pay 
with your life.

'Teach thee scoundrels who be king,'
'An accursed fate lies in thy back-swing'

This is a beggar to do!  If your axe is sharp enough, 
and a monkey is stood behind you as you swing the axe
back, then you can lop off his head!
NOTE: This wont work if you are using the 'fast-chop' 
method mentioned earlier to cut the trees.  You need to
get a good back swing to kill the monkey.  This won't 
work with a blunt axe.  You need to have a more or less 
fresh axe in order to even bother attempting this.

'When fire and oakum see thee through'
'The earth will shake and split in two'

This riddle tells you that once you are past the rope 
and fire, you will need to jump the chasm.
(Oakum is basically an old English word for rope fibres)
The fire part is not too hard.  Slowly creep towards the 
edge of the ledge, until the guys foot is half over the edge.
The just press UP until you grab the rope.
When the guy is swinging, wait until he swings completely 
to the left, then just press DOWN to let go.
When you are past the fire, run LEFT and dont stop!
A chasm is about to open up in the ground.
When jumping the chasm, you need to let go of LEFT and press 
UP when the guy is stood just about half over the edge of the 
chasm edge.  If you fail, just walk back to the fire again, 
cos there will be no trees blocking your way at this point.
(You still have to swing across the fire though!)

There!  Hope that helps.
