.MARIO



This game is virtually impossible to play, as you cannot jump up at an angle,
which means you cannot jump to the next ledge.   This defeats the purpose of the game.

        Game play :

             Your main objective is to keep the area free of pests.  To do
        this, you must jump and bump the layer under the pest to flip it over.
        Once flipped you have a limited amount of time to get on the same
        level as the little creature and 'kick' it off.

             You'll encounter numerous obstacles as well as various types of
        creatures.
