Ziggy was a normal happy young boy - until the day he strayed too close to an experimental matter transporter. Suddenly he became half boy, half spring - like a human pogo stick - and found himself trapped in a multi-dimensional board game played on platforms that float in space and time.

To survive he must collect all the pyramids that he can find, avoiding the deadly Sliding Cubes, Bouncing Balls, Poison Squares and Glue Puddles. Can you help Ziggy reach the final platform, where the girl of his dreams awaits?

The game has fifty levels, containing 200 platforms. Complete all fifty levels and Ziggy can get together with the girl of his dreams on the final platform. It's springtime!

Each level consists of four screens, and you can have up to fifty levels. Use the movement keys to get around, placing the special types of square in position by pressing the keys shown in the menu on the right side of the screen.

Each screen must have one and only one pyramid. It must also be accessible - use the arrow squares. You can have up to four Cubes and Balls per screen, in any combination. Finally, each level must be accessible - use the up and down squares.
