Kangaroo is an action game released for the Atari 2600 in 1982. In this classic title, players control a mother kangaroo on a mission to rescue her kidnapped joey. The main objective involves navigating platforms while avoiding hostile creatures such as snakes and monkeys that obstruct the path.
The game’s pace is moderately fast, requiring quick reflexes to jump between platforms and throw punches at enemies. A unique mechanic in Kangaroo is the ability to punch vines, causing them to drop bananas that temporarily stun foes. This adds a strategic layer to the otherwise straightforward platform action.
Distinctive for its time, Kangaroo integrates simple yet engaging platforming with combat elements uncommon in many early 1980s Atari 2600 action games. The blend of jumping challenges and enemy confrontations creates a dynamic experience that stands out among other titles in the genre.
