Caveman Joe and the Conservation of Energy

This game begins with a tutorial on conservation of energy and the types of energy. After the tutorial, it is your duty to guide a caveman across the ground. Along the way, you will learn about energy conversions. As he moves, your caveman will encounter a variety of obstacles, and each level is more challenging to complete. Beat the monster in the final level to win.
