Animal Obby

You cross 3D obstacle courses as a gecko, monkey, kangaroo, turkey or elephant. Each animal has its own ability, so a gap that stops one animal may suit another. Keys 1 to 5 switch between them.

Power-ups such as flight help on harder stretches. The game uses online lobbies, and Poki mentions playing with friends. On a phone, the left joystick moves, the right joystick turns the camera and a separate button jumps.
