What a dinky game! You are a giant ant living on a treasure chart; on an island in the centre, to be precise. Naturally you feel compelled to travel to the outlying land masses, to Eldorado in particular. Of course, the journey isn't easy: you can jump short distances across logs and magic islands but the main method of travelling is to hitch a ride on a turtle. You have to keep with them, or splash away one life, and be prepared to swap reptiles in mid-stream in order to make progress.

Their direction changes in response to obstructions; but beware of the crocodile which causes the flotilla to crash dive. Having arrived at the treasure chest make sure that you don't get squashed by the lid by spending too long grabbing the gold. On the way back to base you may deem it advisable to make a detour to stoke-up your energy levels by gobbling bonus fruits.

Precise joystick control, with an appreciation of just how far you can leap, is a must. The peculiar sound effects enhance an interesting, though uncomplicated game which is bound to grow on anyone who doesn't demand incessant mayhem.
