Most popular release in Week 2

Jungles of Maxtheria

Play as either "Hot Spot" Harvey, his cousin Roxy Roks, Junior or Missy searching for the lost treasure of the infamous "Jaxton Max". Your quest for fortune and glory will not be easy however. This adventure is full of baddies aimed at stopping you dead in your tracks. Use knives to dig through walls, bullets to battle the baddies, grappling hooks to jump over long distances, oxygen tanks to breath under water and torches to see what lurks underground. Collect keys to get past locked doors and to open treasure chests. Avoid the quicksand, tar pits, spikes, fire pits, thumpers and other traps along the way. Few ever return from their expeditions into the deep jungles. So, if you are brave enough, the "Jungles of Maxtheria" awaits!
