When Ulysses, a deep space astronaut, crash lands on Earth, he awakens to find that apes have become the dominant species and nearly wiped out the human race. The player must join forces with a group of survivors to reach the heart of the Ape Empire and stop General Ursus from launching a final attack on mankind.
The gameplay is a side-scrolling action game, similar to Prince of Persia, where the player must avoid traps and pitfalls by jumping and climbing. The player will also encounter various enemies, including armed apes, which will try to stop them at all costs. However, the player has their own arsenal, starting with a knife that can be upgraded to a pistol and shotgun.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this adventure game, you are a USNSA astronaut tasked with rescuing your colleague Taylor, who has been missing on an unknown planet. You must navigate a chaotic world where apes rule and humans are treated as wild animals, using only your wits and limited supplies to survive. Your mission involves battling through an army of apes and uncovering the mysteries behind this upside-down society.
Story
