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.
