Developed by Visual Impact and published by Ubisoft, The Jungle Book arrived on the Game Boy Advance in 2003 as a puzzle game.

It landed about 2 years into the GBA's life. Other notable GBA releases from 2003 include Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Sonic Battle.

Visual Impact also made Kill.switch, SSX 3 and SSX Tricky for the GBA.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

What playing The Jungle Book is like

Puzzle games challenge pattern recognition, planning and quick thinking, from falling-block games to single-screen logic puzzles.

Tip for newcomers: Puzzle games are perfect for short sessions and often have endless or score-attack modes, so they never really end.
