Not your standard Dig-Dug clone, but instead chucking its characters into a vertically-scrolling single-screen arcade platformer, almost shades of Pac-Man and Mappy...? It's a quirky one, to say the least! Collect all the dots to complete the stage, using the springboards to ascend and your drill to pop the Pookas. Pookas come in two varieties, slow red and fast blue, and their speed and spawning frequency will increase in every level.

This video is stitched together from multiple attempts, using Cheat Engine to level warp, because I was incapable of getting past level 4 with only 3 lives. As far as I can tell the levels loop after each bonus stage -- level 1 is identical to level 6, and so on. Still, it's tricky keeping on top of things: blue Pookas you'll want to keep a curb on otherwise they'll overrun the map, and there's not many places to hide from them. The leftmost dots are a particular pain to collect, as trying to descend safely is a problem -- touching a Pooka while ascending will bounce you off them harmlessly, but after that you're vulnerable to any collision.
