About this game

Gizmo has escaped a genetics laboratory and must reach Billy’s office. Guide him through rooms filled with hostile creatures, moving in four directions, jumping and attacking to continue. Contact with enemies, barriers or holes reduces his life, so positioning matters as well as striking back. Stages lead through sub-stages to a boss. Collected crystal balls can be exchanged for items in Mr Wing’s shop, while the pause menu shows weapons, remaining lives and supplies.
