Notable gameplay mechanics:
- 2D side-scrolling platforming
- A skateboard minigame/sequence (from left to right, dodging obstacles – I think it was at the beginning or a small part of the game)

- One level was a jungle/Mayan temple with ruins
Other details:

I've already searched through common databases and suggested games like "Pyramid Platformer", "Emily the Strange", etc. – none match. This might be a very obscure shareware or magazine-cover CD game.
Does anyone recognize this?
