The game is set in Madagascar. Our protagonist is a friendly lemur named Linus. You play as Linus as he is saving his friends the Lumlums from being eaten by the evil mole.
The Lumlums are magical creatures who grow in the ground and like to play music. Each Lumlum has their own traditional Madagascar musical instrument.
Linus the lemur
Linus is having fun using computers! Help him collect items he needs, such as a screen and mouse. The Chameleon raises and lowers the tress, making Linus reach different heights or clear the path.
