Story
You play as Thor the Caveman (Not to be confused with Thor the Norse god of thunder), riding on your prehistoric stone mono-uni-cycle in a quest to rescue the beautiful Cute Chick from a very hungry dinosaur.
Gameplay
This game is very fast paced. You are in constant motion. Your goal is to rescue Cute Chick from the dinosaur (A speech bubble keeps appearing to the right to remind you... "help! help!"). Each level has several parts that you have to beat in order to get to Cute Chick:
In the first part, you have to jump over rocks and potholes.
The second is a foresty area that has logs you gotta jump over, and trees with branches that you have to avoid by ducking. All jumps and ducks require careful timing to clear the obstacle. Failing to clear the obstacle will cause you to lose balance and also a life (or a wheel, rather)...
