Game description:

Slyvester Biffdrop could not believe it. He just couldn't believe it. Here he, the proud
Inspector of Mysterious Mishaps for Icked Industries, has found himself imprisoned in who knows what, and for who knows how long. One thing is certain, this phobic duck wants out pronto.



Slyvester Biffdrop has been imprisoned on the bottommost of six deadly dungeons. Your task is to help him escape from all six levels. You start in Alpha, the easiest, and work your way up to the terrible Epsilon+!



You can move Slyvester to the left and right with the joystick, and can make him jump with a push of the trigger. In each level, Sly begins at the leftmost point of the dungeon. To escape from each level, he must make his way to the dungeon's extreme right edge. To accomplish this, he must travel from screen to screen, overcoming obstacles, finding keys, and opening doors.



The following is a list of objects you'll encounter in the dungeons, along with a brief description of each of them:

Spikes - If Sly touches one of these, he dies.

Keys - To get a key, simply touch it. Keys in your possession are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Locked Doors - If you have a key, simply touch the door. Each time you open a door, your key supply decreases by one.

Under-Footers - Often, these are the only barrier between Sly and the dreaded spikes. You must either run along the top of these moving footways, or jump over them.

Vacuum Swings - These swing from the ceiling. To get onto one of the swings, jump up when you're directly under it. To dismount, push your joystick in the desired direction.

Vanishing Bridges - These bridges appear and disappear unexpectedly, so you must be careful when crossing them.

Sliding Bridges - These bridges slide back and forth over the spikes.


What I think:

Well, it has better controls and one more levels. So yeah, this is the better version. However, besides the aforementioned things, this game has nothing else new to offer, so it is only slightly better than Escape From Epsilon.
