Two friends. One wild detour.

The cargo's gone. The jungle's calling. Grab a barrel and help Rocco and Pip bring it all back in this colourful, retro-inspired platforming adventure.

• Choose your explorer: Rocco has strong throws and steady feet; Pip is the quick one.
• Three compact courses: cross Jungle Dock Dash, climb Treetop Timberworks, and ride into Echo Mine Ascent.
• Jump into trouble: double jumps, roll attacks, ladders, moving platforms, throwable barrels, a mine cart, and a final boss.
• Take the scenic route: collect bananas, find three hidden medallions per course, and improve your local best scores.
• Make yourself comfortable: remappable keys, separate music and sound levels, reduced motion, checkpoint retries, and an optional five-heart assist.
