Become a fearless mum...

In Wallaby (Superior Software) you are a fearless mother marsupial. A bunch of vicious monkeys has caught your offspring and hauled it in a cage to the top of a tree.

So you must rescue the mite from their evil clutches.

To do this you climb a series of ladders and platforms, evad ing the apple cores hurled by monkeys trying to knock you out of the tree and kill you. Contact with either monkey or apple core means death.

In addition apples are being rained on you by a guard at the top of the tree.

Your secret weapon is a meaty straight jab with which you can wallop the monkeys and fend off the apple cores. Around the screen is fruit which you can jump to and collect, so earning bonus points.

If you get to the top you start another screen in which the monkeys take the cage contain ing your offspring further up the tree. Bonus points are awarded for the time remaining when you reach this point.

The sound is a little disappointing but this minor crib is offset by superb smooth animation. Great fun to play.
