About Big Nose the Caveman

Big Nose the Caveman is a platform action game set in a prehistoric era. Players control the titular character as he navigates through levels populated by ancient animals.

The initial objective of hunting a pterodactyl for food expands into a larger, more challenging adventure. Gameplay involves combat using weapons, starting with a basic club and progressing to more powerful armaments that can be acquired. Bones collected throughout the levels serve as currency for purchasing these weapons and various spells from in-game shops.
