The game is known for its colorful graphics and engaging platform gameplay, which includes collecting gems that transform Congo into a full human form, thereby enhancing his abilities.

The game progresses through various themed worlds, each culminating in a boss fight that tests the player's skill and strategy. Although "Congo's Caper" did not achieve the iconic status of some of its contemporaries, it remains a beloved title for its charming character design, fluid animation, and the whimsical yet challenging gameplay it offers to fans of the platformer genre.
