As the adventurer Pitfall Harry, you have to locate a legendary artifact guarded by the Giant Monkey. Find your way through the gloomy Jungle of Doom by dodging the spears of angry natives and crazy coconut throwing monkeys. Beware of stepping into alligators’ jaws or being eaten up by the blood lusting piranhas! It might also be a good idea to use the vines in order to avoid the mosquitoes with their treacherous, massive stingers.

Pitfall Harry will find himself passing through 16 levels (including a tutorial level) which comprise of five distinct phases: Jungle Border, Jungle, Swamps, Piranha Pools, Ancient Ruins and Final Battle. All phases consist of one or more levels that await the adventurer!

The game features a vast variety of different enemies, each with their own unique capabilities. There are several puzzle elements like moving and vanishing platforms, items such as rocks that can be picked up and used in a sling shot, and coins that determine the player’s score. There is also an end level boss fight. As Pitfall Harry, the player can jump, swim, fist punch, sling shoot, dive, hang on edges and vines, and read signs that assist in the adventure. How quickly the player accomplishes each level also affects the final point score. In addition, there are cheat codes for the console game that will be unlockable through the mobile game.

The Pitfall® series consists of three separate downloadable episodes, of which this is the first one. The next episodes are targeted for release in April and May 2004.

Wireless Gaming Review, 8.3/10
"Pitfall: TLE is much larger than any Sumea platformer to date, boasting 16 levels. ...the challenges never reach a frustrating level — The Lost Expedition is just hard enough to motivate you to bring your platforming "A" game."

Midlet Review, 8/10
"...the game is pretty darn good for a mobile remake."
