Contents

Controls

  • In both modes, use the left and right arrow keys to move Pageboy left and right.
  • In Mode A, use the up and down arrows to move Frank (the individual on the left ladder) and the Q and A buttons to move Hank (the individual on the right ladder) up and down.
  • You can also directly click the D-Pad and buttons with your mouse to get the same effect, but it's not recommended.

Gameplay

In both modes of the game, the object is to catch the pigs on Pageboy's head and give them to either Hank or Frank. If Pageboy fails to catch a pig, it's destroyed and Pageboy loses a life. Lose all three, and the game is over. Be warned that Pageboy can only carry 10 pigs on his head at one time.

In Mode A, you control all three characters at once.

In Mode B, Hank and Frank move up and down the ladders in a predetermined pattern (when Hank goes up, Frank goes down and vise-versa).

Scoring

The number of points you earn for dropping off pigs is directly related to the number of rungs up Hank/Frank are on the ladder. Therefore, the bottom rung (or one pig on head) is worth 1 point, while the top rung is worth 10.

Fun Facts

  • First appeared in 2 emails. When the email was being fast-forwarded, Strong Bad can be seen playing the PC version of the game on his computer.
  • The game makes a cameo appearence (along some other Videlectrix games) in anything. It's one of the "Sega tapes" that Homestar made into a coaster.
