THE STORY SO FAR

Tam and Rit live in a fairy village. Having led a happy life full
of sticky cakes and endless parties, they find that something
awful has happened overnight to their fellow inhabitants. They've
turned nasty and captured their Mom and locked her in the top of
the Maboots Tower. Luckily for Tam and Rit they've inherited the
Rods of Sheesanomo from a village elder and some rainbow shoes
from their Pop, Armed with these they can tackle the tower by
wopping cuddly beings on the head with their rods and climbing
ladders built with the help of the rainbow shoes. It's not easy
though, when your former friends have some rather mean surprises
in store for you!

HOW TO PLAY

The game consists of over 40 levels of cuddly-bashing action. You
must work through each screen, wopping the nasties and collecting
the flowers.

Wop them often enough and you'll pick up a useful weapon, or just
tickle them with the rod and see what happens.

To get around the screen you must build ladders either up or down
to collect the platforms. As soon as you build a second one, your
first ladder will disappear. If you don't clear the screen of
your opponents in time, the game will change to "meany" mode
where life will become far more difficult. Collecting all the
flowers switches you into the EXTRA GAME. Here you can collect an
extra life by picking up letters to form the word E X T R A.

You can play with 1 or 2 players, but 2 player games can only be
started on the 1st screen.
