The biggest threat is the time limit and the boot which moves rapidly around squashing blocks - and you. Read Review
Oswald has been trapped inside a video game by his evil archenemy, the Bomber. To stay alive, Oswald must collect all the detonators.
As Oswald moves across the grid, blocks disintegrate behind him (he can only walk on Blocks). Placed in his path are sticks of 'TNT' which will blow up if he runs into them. Watch out for the dreaded boot. The boot is a creature of leather which has the ability to dart around the screen after Oswald, knocking off and replacing blocks.
To aid Oswald, he has a random screen jumper machine which will take him to a random block instantly, but the machine needs five seconds to recharge itself.
All this must be completed in 20 seconds before the screen is charged with 1,000,000 volts and poor old Oswald will be fried.
Between screens, Oswald has the chance to pick up bonus points. Oswald starts by bouncing left and right at the top of the screen. Press the 'Space Bar' and he will drop, steer him round the TNT to hit the detonator at the bottom of the screen.
Move along the Blocks avoiding the 'TNT' while picking up the detonators. Make sure you do not block your way to a detonator as the Blocks disintegrate after you have stepped on them, above all avoid the Boot. Good luck!
