Bonk's Revenge (1994). Play online

Summary

Bonk's Revenge is a 2D pre‑historic platformer that lets you guide the big‑head caveman through outdoors, train, space, and underwater zones. The basic controls are simple: one button jumps, another delivers the signature head‑slam, and a jump‑head‑slam combo sends shock waves into the ground. Holding the slam button makes Bonk spin and hover for precise, long jumps, while his mouth can latch onto certain surfaces for climbing.

Health is tracked by heart containers that can be expanded with blue hearts, and the game rewards fruit and meat items. Eating meat triggers temporary transformations: a small piece freezes enemies with icy clouds, while a larger chunk grants fire‑breath, invincibility, and powerful area attacks.

The Game Boy version adds three alter‑ego forms—Master, Hungry, and Stealth Bonk—each granting speed, stronger head‑butts, or access to secret doors. Collecting tulips launches a bonus showdown against Mechabonk, and defeating him yields an extra life; losing turns Bonk into a more vulnerable mummy version.
