Gameplay

The gameplay is pretty simple as the only thing you have to do is jump over barrels avoiding anything in your way. In some levels you can also get a hammer for only a few seconds to help you along the way. There also items to help you increase your top score eventually giving you a extra life every 20,000 points.

Normally you would gain 100 points each time you jump over a barrel But try jumpin over a barrel while the following 2 conditions apply



You are standin on the top of the MIDDLE ladder on the THIRD floor first level
