Absolutely fabbo. As you progress further into the game the screens become more and more cluttered and the actions you have to perform become more and mad. Read Review
Beautifully detailed, with razor-sharp graphics flitting speedily about the screen accompanied by some outstanding (128K) music and effects. Read Review
Totally screwy. Totally wacky. Sickenly cute and rather marvellous. Can I have another go please? Read Review
Wally Walrus has captured his tea - 20 of Tiki Kiwi's friends from the New Zealand zoo, and if Tiki doesn't rescue them all by tea-time they'll be stuffed, served and swallowed at Wally's table.
Tiki has to search Wally's domain which is just how you would expect it to be - *fat* with danger! Armed only with a bow and arrow, Tiki can accumulate more weapons along the way. Beware of the malicious rabbits, boomerang throwers, deadly frogs, blood-sucking bats and many, many more villainous creatures.
New Zealand is a peaceful place to live - if you're a Kiwi, particularly in the Auckland Zoo - Tiki is as happy as can be...
Trouble turns up in the guise of a psychotic walrus who has on enormous appetite for fresh Kiwi and kidnaps Tiki and his relatives to stock the larder! The walrus hides his captives around the island in 20 hazardous locations but our hero escapes and sets about rescuing his buddies.
You control Tiki the Kiwi in his search for the release of his kidnapped friends. Initially, you are armed with just a bow and arrow, but occasionally when you kill an enemy, they may drop an item which you con retrieve and use yourself. There are many different types of item which you must discover yourself, but they vary from extra weapons to temporary invulnerability pills.
Kiwis cannot fly and you are no exception, however, you get around this by knocking/shooting creatures off their balloons, which you can then commandeer and take to the skies! Surprisingly, Kiwis cannot breathe under water either, so you must be careful if you go swimming. Your oxygen level is shown on screen, so make sure you don't drown!
Shooting water from your mouth replenishes oxygen and can be used to pot your adversaries.
In the earlier levels, you will be shown arrows on the background which indicate the direction you must go to release the captive Kiwi on that level, but beware, on certain stages, releasing your friend alerts the Big Guardian Creature of that level, and you must first find a way of defeating it before progressing to the next level.
Because the various lairs of the walrus are so well guarded, we cannot brief you further. Your techniques will develop as you play the game and each new level presents new, frantic and more original challenges!
Note: Make sure you do not waste time sightseeing as you have a limited period to complete each level.
On the bottom of the screen is the payers remaining lives, the score and an O2 Oxygen meter, which decreases while the player is in the water.
The game finishes when the player's lives are exhausted or when he clears all the screens and reaches the end.
For each special item which is collected you will get 1,000 points. Fruits range between 300 and 8,000 points. For each enemy which is killed the score ranges between 100 and 500 points, and the big boss characters are worth 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 40,000 and 50,000 points.

Nueva Zelanda es un pacífico lugar donde vivir -especialmente si eres un Kiwi en el Zoo Auckland-. Tiki es un Kiwi muy feliz...
El problema apareció en forma de una morsa psicótica cuya pasión era comer kiwis frescos. La morsa secuestró a Tiki y a sus familiares con el fin de abastecer su despensa.
La morsa escondió a sus víctimas en veinte peligrosos lugares alrededor de la isla, pero nuestro héroe consiguió escapar y decidió rescatar a sus compañeros.
Mira cómo vuelan las plumas mientras Tiki ejecuta su plan. En la despensa también hay compañeros muy extraños y sedientos de sangre.
Opciones usuales del joystick para ARRIBA, ABAJO, IZQUIERDA, DERECHA y DISPARO.

Para interrumpir la partida pulsa SHIFT y CAPS SHIFT.
El juego se controla vía joystick Sinclair, Kempston o teclado.
Controlas a Kiti el Kiwi y tu misión consiste en liberar a tus compañeros secuestrados. En un principio vas armado solamente con un arco y una flecha, pero a veces cuando destruyes a un enemigo éste dejará caer un objeto que puedes recoger y utilizar. Hay diferentes tipos de objetos que deberás descubrir por tu cuenta. Estos pueden ser desde armas extra a pildoras de invulnerabilidad temporal.
Los kiwis no pueden volar y tú no eres una excepción. Sin embargo, puedes superar este inconveniente golpeando/tirando a las criaturas de sus globos. ¡Toma tú el control y vuela a los cielos! Aunque parezca mentira los kiwis no pueden respirar debajo del agua... Ten cuidado cuando estés nadando. En pantalla aparecerá tu nivel de oxígeno, por tanto, ¡fíjate en el indicador y no te ahogues!
Cada vez que tires agua por la boca recuperarás parte de tu oxígeno. También puedes utilizar esta táctica para disparar contra tus adversarios.
En los primeros niveles aparecerán una flechas en la parte posterior de la pantalla, que indican la dirección que debes tomar para liberar a uno de los kiwis capturados en ese nivel. Pero ten cuidado porque en algunas etapas del juego la liberación de uno de tus colegas alertará a una gigantesca criatura y deberás destruirla antes de pasar al nivel siguiente.
Sugerencia: Puedes dejarte comer por la ballena y destruirla desde dentro.
Como las otras guaridas de la morsa están muy bien escondidas y fuertemente protegidas, nosotros no podemos ayudarte más. Aprenderás nuevas tácticas a medida que avances en el juego. Cada nuevo nivel te enfrentará a nuevos, emocionantes y originales desafíos.
Nota: No te dediques a hacer turismo por la zona porque tienes un tiempo límite para completar el nivel.
En la parte inferior de la pantalla se encuentran los siguientes indicadores: número de vidas restantes, puntuación de cada uno de los jugadores y su nivel de oxígeno O2, que disminuye cuando el jugador está dentro del agua.
La partida termina cuando agotas todas tus vidas o cuando despejas todas las pantallas y consigues llegar al final.
Por cada objeto especial recogido ganarás 1.000 puntos Las frutas valen de 300 a 8.000 puntos. Por cada enemigo destruido ganarás de 100 a 500 puntos, y si destruyes a sus jefes ganarás 10.000, 20.000, 30.000, 40.000 y 50.000 puntos.
