INSTRUCTIONS

The object is to score as many points as possible by creating a STABLE structure from the available building blocks within the allotted time period. Barnaby strategically places blocks on the springboard. The blocks are then sent to the building block area. When the structure sucessfully reaches the top arrow, without topping down, Barnaby climbs up the structure and into the next level. Each level brings Barnaby a new challenge with decremented time and higher levels which start with a pre-established base.

Watch Barnaby build a structure before you start to play. When he is finished, today's high score is displayed. High score is retained in memory until the computer is turned off.
