    I was previously prepared to give this game a perfect rating of 10/10 stars, but unfortunately this modern masterpiece is too buggy to be rendered playable. Heart-wrenchingly enough, the game crashes within about a minute of introducing you to it's vast world and incredible life-like physics simulatory abilities, of which I'm sure the latter must be the cause; these advanced calculations are probably just over-taxing my pleb CPU. Unfortunately, turning down the graphics options does not affect…

    I really wanted to like this game, but unfortunately it was a big disappointment. The first thing that annoyed me was the sound. Even when I turned all audio options off in the menu, the game still played sounds. That’s a basic setting that should work, and the fact that it doesn’t is just frustrating. The game is marketed as something new that should feel like a 90s game, but I honestly didn’t feel that vibe at all. It doesn’t have the charm, atmosphere, or gameplay depth of classic games…

At such a low price of a merciful £1.69, this…

    Following Unga's quest to return to his family sparks the player's connection to their own family. It seeks to establish the core message of connection in a discrete way without being convoluted. This is where Caveman World: Mountains of Unga Boonga shines; audiences are hooked with lifelike graphics and seamless gameplay mechanics (and maybe a low price tag), and return to the real world with a newfound purpose. No longer do I rot in my dark and lonesome house. No longer am I lost in the grand…

    best game i ever played Caveman World: Mountains of Unga Boonga feels like stumbling into a fever dream carved into stone and lit by firelight. Every level pulses with horny prehistoric energy — roaring creatures, great compliments and the constant farting sounds. And somehow, that’s exactly what makes it so delightful. There’s a beautiful simplicity to the torture. No logic tutorials, no systems — just instinct, momentum, and the joyful rhythm of running barefoot into animals excrement. It…

    What I expected: Based on all the sarcastic reviews, I expected a janky piece of sh*t game that might be fun for a few minutes and an easy 100% achievements. What I got: A surprisingly well designed platformer with excellent level design, challenging physics puzzles, and a charming set of characters and enemies that provided engaging fun and a good level of challenge. It was also a janky piece of sh*t too but what can you expect for the pricetag/free offer? Also those snakes can go to…

The plot of the game is very full and descriptive, giving the players a very well-done and thought out storyline. The true emotion you feel playing this game is substantial, with the main contribution being Unga Boonga's ultimate goal to provide supplies for his family that are necessary for survival. His goal truly emphasizes the games primary theme and…

This was worth the 51p I spent to play this adequately enjoyable game. I liked that the collectables changed every level from fruit to even SHELLS.

    For free not a bad 2D platformer, however be aware there are some glitches and bugs. Check other reviews and comments to see where exactly in the game can bug out (that it may cost you). But overall, decent graphics, OK gameplay, funny game. You're a caveman trying to get back to your family.

    Game is bugged once it's level 8. Animal Hitboxes are all over the place, spikes are brutal and if you fail a level like level 8, there's a chance you will always fail that level even if you beat it.

    One of the worst cave man games I've played for sure. Very ugly (can be fixed with DLSS5) and unsettling to behold and filled with evil beetles. Basic game mechanics don't work and it chooses to rely on physics puzzles knowing that said physics are unreliable at best and malicious at worst. I see no reason oonga cavemen needed to eat hundreds of sea shells while his family starved.
