Has anybody beaten this level? Took me a good 20 minutes to finally get to the halfway point because I had no idea what I was trying to avoid on that stupid Ostrich other than those pink hippos. It seems I would hit a tree and die or the bush on a tree and die but not other times. And then these stupid hippo tails, I can't understand their hit detection. I wasted 6 lives in a row jumping to the second hippos tail and just going through it to the water. And after finally getting past the hippos I am on another Ostrich and don't know what I am trying to double jump to avoid.

How could this be considered a good game when the second level is complete garbage? Is the rest of the game any good? Should I keep playing, because I really wanted to beat this game.

I never could beat this level when I was a kid. To tell the truth, I'm not even sure if the difficulty level on this game is properly balanced, since that's way too hard for level 2.

Those hyenas will fuck you up, man. Badly.

I don't know how I managed it when renting it around the time it came out. I vividly remember at least getting to the elephant graveyard level, which I'm pretty sure is right after this.

I finished the whole game as a kid. At the time I thought it was a pretty good game. Dunno whether I'd have the patience for its quirks if I were to play it today. I was probably just like, "huh those tails are hard to catch--I'll just memorize how to do it and then do it that way every time", whereas today I'd be like, "This crap is sloppy, I don't need to adapt myself to sloppy crap, I'll just play something else."

This is how I'm feeling. Why is a game marketed towards children so challenging in the basic aspects of gameplay? Why is the level so fucking bright and you have to dodge pink hippo's and some random tree branches when the first level takes less than a minute to beat.
