About this game
Mama and Booyan challenge the wolves to rescue Pooyan in this Famicom action game. The bow targets the balloons carrying wolves; bursting one sends its rider down. Meat offers another approach: wolves let go of their balloons to reach for it. Using this to bring down a group, shooting empty balloons and hitting fruit turn the rescue into a score chase as well.
