A classic Game & Watch game! You are Donkey Kong Jr. and you have to save your father Donkey Kong who has been trapped by Mario and chained with 4 chains and their respective padlocks.

You'll have to pick up the key and get to the lock, avoiding the killer birds among branches, umbrellas and balloons. You can throw the coconut to kill the birds it catches in the fall.

The coconut only comes out when you pick up the key.

Points:

- 1 point each time you jump from the umbrella to the balloon or vice versa.
- 10 points every time Jr. opens a lock.
- 10 extra points when you open all 4 locks.
- 2 more points when the coconut kills a bird.
- If you kill 2 birds it is 2+4 points
- If you kill 3 birds 2+4+6 points
- If you kill 4 birds 2+4+6+8 points
- If you kill 5 birds 2+4+6+8+10 (A total of 30 points)

The maximum number of points is 999.

As is classic in Game and Watch, when you reach 300 points you have a CHANCE TIME.

- If you have intact lives: all your scores will be double until you lose a life. You'll know you're in CHANCE TIME because the dot marker is flashing.

- If you already have misses: they will all be deleted and you will have the initial 3 lives again.

MISSES:

- When you get a bird
- When you fail to pick up a balloon or umbrella.
- If you let the umbrella carry you into the water.
- If you're hanging from the balloon and let it pop up.

Dropping the key is not considered a failure, but you will have to go back to the beginning to pick up the key again.

The game is developed in ZX Basic with the NextBuild library and compiled with Boriel compiler.
