Our take on Prehistoric Gal
The mini metroidvania format keeps the journey focused on four prehistoric scenarios, but sacrifices the broader exploration and deeper progression found in larger adventure games.
What is Prehistoric Gal?
Play as Gal, a prehistoric cave girl searching for Dude after aliens abduct him.
This 2D mini metroidvania takes place across four prehistoric-themed scenarios. Gal travels through prehistory, faces enemies and other challenges, searches for the aliens’ ships, and finds helpful items along the way. Some dinosaurs can be ridden, and alternative paths provide different routes through the adventure. A simplified leveling system adds character progression without presenting a complex leveling structure. The game uses colorful 8-bit-style graphics. Its story follows Gal’s attempt to rescue Dude, a caveman who loves ham, with dinosaur friends assisting her journey.
