Game Play

The longer you hold down the fire button, the farther your character can throw rocks. The boy must avoid monsters while attempting to make it to the top of each level and proceed on to the next. There are a number of flags at the top of each level that must be destroyed in order to proceed to next level.

Occasionally, there is a bonus round where your character flys back and forth at the top of the screen in a hot-air balloon in an attempt to drop rocks down upon a monster that is running at the bottom of the screen. There is a fuel gauge that determines when the bonus round will end.

Personal Impressions and Technical Impressions each account for half of the total score. Within the Personal Impressions category, Like carries a little more weight than the other factors.

Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs

In the Jaleco version, the fencing is different on the first level when compared to the Cinemetronics version. Here, Naughty Boy can sit between the fence and the escape tunnel on the left hand side and keep shooting monsters up and down forever. The point multiplier keeps going up and up until monsters are worth 9000 each.
