Pitfall Harry celebrates his 30th anniversary in style with Activision’s latest release, inspired by the 1982 classic.

But we digress – this Lemmings-inspired title sees you strive to rescue the ocean dwelling Floobz by controlling their actions and helping them reach the end of over 30 brain-sweating levels. Adorable, aren’t they?
