What a great game for young kids to play and learn, with big colourfull well drawn graphics, I wonder why dont other software houses produced more arcade game using the same techniques. Well ok you could mention Don Priestley, but why arent there more, not every single game needs to be fast.
Anyway, the game starts with a reaction test to determine the ability level you will start on. A memory test follows so to choose the ingredients for Orm's birthday party. After that is done Cheep has to gather his friends to the birthday party, sit them in the right chairs so the party can be started. The game as a reasonable large area, you will move thru Woods, several houses and mole's tunnels and some mapping will be required.
The game is aimed to 8 years old but I think it can also the interesting to older kids or even adults.
