Readme file:
In this exciting learning adventure, by completing literacy, numeracy, and science exercises, test your problem-solving skills. Fly a helico-balloon and save Barnaby from his mountain-top prison! Baloo and Mowgli are wandering through the jungle, contemplating life, when suddenly a rhinoceros, Victor, comes crashing out of the jungle. He has some terrible news. Barnaby has been kidnapped!
Barnaby, an old monkey friend of Mowgli and Baloo, lives in the ruins of an old temple. For many years Barnaby was a friend of a human explorer called Mr. McAllister, who taught Barnaby and other animals all about humans, and the humans' ways of doing things, through various machines and contraptions that were dotted around the domain.
And now someone had kidnapped Barnaby - but who could have done such a thing? Victor explained what happened: as he and Barnaby were having their daily chat, a band of monkeys fell from the trees and seized Barnaby - Victor did not get a good look at the villains but he's afraid that they might want to take over the entire domain! The last thing Barnaby said was that Victor should find Baloo and Mowgli - only they would be able to save him from this band of brutes.
So now it's up to you to join Mowgli, Baloo and Victor as they try to figure out who kidnapped Barnaby and why...
The Challenge
Barnaby is being held captive at a prison on the highest mountain in the domain. To reach him, you'll need to operate the helico-balloono.
First, clear the take-off area with Victor's help. However, Victor tires easily and needs to be fed flowers from Mr. McAllister's flower-matic machine. Unfortunately, you all lack tropicash. Visit four lion-head tropicash Points by the lake to earn enough money for flowers.
Once cleared, fuel is needed for the turbo boosters. Two distillorators (blue and red fuel) are watched over by a caracal, while a refinorator (green fuel) is guarded by Mango, the vulture. Win fuel through math challenges.
Finally, gather helico-balloono repair kits from Elie Kopter, an eagle in disguise, by completing three science challenges to prove you're not enemy agents.
With everything gathered, fly the helico-balloono past obstacles and reach the top of the mountain. You'll need to navigate through a maze, avoid wooden robots, and face off against Barnaby's kidnapper - a villainous ape who wants Mr. McAllister's secrets revealed.
Once defeated, you'll be awarded with a "Academy of the Jungle" diploma for your hard work and help in rescuing Barnaby.
