Before Super Mario 64 there was this, it looks like an even worse version of Bubsy 3D but if you give it some time there's actually some depth here in the gameplay. The goal seems to be to just keep moving and stay off the ground. The more you move the higher your score. Also, there's no jump button, your.... thing.... bounces automatically when you're on certain panels. I guess you want to unlock as much of the map as you can before the timer runs out.
Also you can "memorize" which is pretty much a save state and sometimes you NEED it!

Also this game is apparently by the same people who made Alone in the Dark a couple of years later so they're pretty huge pioneers of early 3D it seems. This kind of thing fascinates me!
