Looking for a platformer game

All I can remember of the game is that:




  • It was a platformer game

  • The game might have been made in the 90's

  • I think it was a DOS game

  • It was a very colored game

  • The main character was human (I think it was a female character)

  • I think I had to collect letters or some item to transform into animals and progress in the game -> A fish to explore the water, a bird to fly, etc.


  • I barely remember the word JILJ but I'm not able to find anything about this in a web search engine.

          This sounds like Jill of the Jungle:




          It is a platform game where the player takes the role of the titular character: an amazon woman who takes the untypical role of monster-slaying, leather-wearing feminist warrior. Jill's most distinguishing ability is morphing into various creatures, such as a bird, a fish, and others, which allow her to explore specific areas.




          This is a DOS game, released in 1992 (as shareware). It is indeed very colourful, and its main character is a woman. You need to find “icons” to turn into various animals, and to turn back into Jill.



          It’s available for free on GOG.

            Based on a manual for the game the executable was named JILL.EXE, but the JILJ that OP remembers is pretty close.
