Bouncing balls, wiggly monsters and a clock counting down. Hmmm, sounds like a puzzley platform game to me...

Yep. You control a small red ball with the ballish quality of bouncability, on a game screen consisting of a series of floating platforms. Strolling up and down these are a number of creatures. Snakes, eyeballs and walking potatoes - they're all in there. Your job is to bounce on these monsters in the correct order. You know which creature to bounce on next because a large arrow appears above its head.

Helter Skelter is a very jolly game. It's quite difficult, but certain masochists thrive on that sort of thing. Graphics and sound are both neat and attractive. What's more, when (!) you complete the game you can design your own levels with the built-in editor.
