About Booby Kids

Booby Kids is a prehistoric themed action game where the player controls a young boy. His objective is to gather all treasure items within a stage while avoiding hostile dinosaurs and cavemen.

Direct confrontation is not an option. The sole defensive mechanic involves placing traps directly in the path of oncoming enemies to temporarily immobilize them. This creates a brief window to either collect nearby treasure or reposition, as trapped foes will free themselves after a short delay.

Progress is structured across sequential levels, each requiring full treasure collection to advance. The game presents a challenging experience, as any physical contact with an enemy results in the player character's death.
