Synopsis
Three separate scenarios which can be played in any order.

Each scenario contains five separate levels.

Each level scolls vertically over approximately seven screens in height and contains four major puzzles which are often interconnected, plus many sub puzzles.
Four parts of the map are to be found in each level, giving a total of 60 parts to recover in the entire game and hundreds of puzzles to solve.

Once a level is completed, play can recommence at the end of that level. Allowing late night/all night(!) puzzle solving, game playing sessions.

Puzzles take many forms including guiding bouncing/sliding widgets into appropriate targets. It sounds easy but believe us, it will have you scratching your heads and tearing your hair out!

At the end of each scenario is a large and mean end of scenario guardian whose job it is to finish off anyone lucky enough to get that far.

The game play is a carefully blended mixture of platform, puzzle solving strategy and combat. With the player jumping from platform to ladder to ground whilst kicking, punching and collecting things.

Players character can jump, duck, roll, somersault, kick and punch in virtually endless combinations.

Control is via keyboard or Joystick.

You will need genuine skill and intelligence to complete this game and also a little luck!
