Jill of the Jungle: Jill Goes to Underground Overview
Jill of the Jungle: Jill Goes to Underground is a side-view platform game where the protagonist ventures from a jungle into Montezuma's castle and below. The gameplay involves navigating levels containing hazards such as enemies that breathe fire and environmental spikes.
This title is the second in a trilogy, building upon the original concept with new levels, refined graphics, and smoother animation. A defining mechanic is Jill's ability to transform into different creatures, which aids in progression; in her standard human form, her only weapon is a knife.
The musical score, composed by Dan Froelich, is entirely new for this installment and features a more melancholic tone suited to the underground setting. It was created using AdLib Visual Composer and converted to the game's format, resulting in audio quality considered high for its early 1990s DOS era. These tracks would later appear in other games from the same developer.
