Developer: Nintendo
Genre: Puzzle
This is a nifty puzzle game where you, Lolo, move around in the dirt searching for your girl friend LaLa and food and once you collect it all, you escape through a door to the next level!
There's 105 levels of this madness and the hook is that you fall down and can't climb up unless there's a ladder nearby. There are green bricks that fall on you but don't kill you and sometimes you get items to counter all the bad stuff that happened.
On the front screen you can change the start-level from 1 to 5x+1 where x<20.
Just right-arrow increases, or if you want to solve the game quickly, left-arrow.
[MOVING]
How you move is pretty straightforward: you can burrow through grass or climb up ladders. You can't stand on the top rung. If there is a space below you, you fall as far straight down as possible. You can walk over pretty much anything, though if there is nothing below you will fall. You may not walk into a door until all food is gone.
If there is space below green bricks, they drop as far as possible. They may even land on you, but they won't crush you. green bricks can drop in a chain reaction, which makes for slightly annoying delays. They can also cause you not to move when you think you did, which is not only annoying but also fatal.
LaLa always follows you once you've gotten her(walked on her square,) though if you are above or below her then she won't follow you afterwards--though she may fall. You are also both on the same square once you get her--don't fall for thinking she'll be on the square you left. But green bricks avoid her the same way they do you. She also fills in a gap you left before green bricks can fall, if possible. But if she falls, she falls onto the same squares you do. In the levels with more green bricks you probably want her sooner rather than later--otherwise she is less valuable.
Hit A&B to commit suicide. This is necessary when you are trapped in a level.
Hit to get to your power-ups. This is detailed in "items." There is no time limit.
[ITEMS]
You gain an item after taking a lollipop. These items can make working through a level quicker, but they're not necessary for the game. Still, they can save you if you're stuck.
Items are:
Dynamite--explodes a green brick when placed on it. Takes a second to blow up.
Ladder--places a ladder on the square in the indicated direction.
Rope--goes all the way up until it hits the sky above or green ground.
Green Brick--behaves like a green brick in the game.
Here is how you accumulate items: dynamite, ladder, rope, and green brick for each lollipop found in a level. You reset the green brick at the next level.
Push to see a list of the items you can use. Push up/down to toggle and or to select an item. To place the item, hold and the direction you wish to place it in. You can place a bomb on a green brick to blow it up. You can place a ladder up, right or left. You can place a rope above you, and you can place a green brick up, left or to the right.
You start out with 3 lives and get an extra life every 5 levels.
The time you physically take to win a level does not matter. It's only the number of steps.
Trying to climb to ladder top & failing counts as a move but running into stuff doesn't. Neither does placing an item.
