FREE THE ANIMALS AND BRING MO HOME

You're Mo, a child separated from their parents, and who has the ability to communicate with different animals that you find. Through various levels, meet different animals who need your help getting free from cages. As you free each animal, you gain their abilities, which you can use to solve a new puzzle on each level. Search for payphones on each level to call your parents from. Jump, bounce, and float your way back to your parents!
