About Big Nose Freaks Out

Big Nose Freaks Out is a side scrolling platform action game set in a prehistoric era. The narrative begins when the caveman Big Nose is robbed by Leroy the Lizardman, prompting him to pursue the thief across a series of levels.

The core structure consists of five distinct sections, each containing four levels to complete. Progression culminates in a confrontation with Leroy, who is accompanied by a large monster at the end of every section. For combat, the player character is equipped with a club, which can also be used to hit rocks found in the environment as projectile weapons.

Exploration is encouraged through hidden treasures, concealed levels, and warp points scattered throughout the game. Beyond the primary campaign, two distinct multiplayer options are available. One mode functions as a relay, where two players alternate turns upon a character's death, continuing from the same point. The other is a timed challenge where players compete over five rounds to gather the most bones within a sixty second limit per turn.
