Guide Paulie Python through eight imaginative scrolling levels eating mice and avoiding obstacles; mastering each level by eating all the mice. Paulie grows in length with each mouse eaten and will lose his life if he collides with himself or the walls. While bouncing balls can earn Paulie points for each hit to his body, do not let them crash into Paulies head or his life will be lost. All mice in the level return in the next lifes play, but the length of Paulies body remains the same as when he crashed. A bonus timer counts down from the beginning of each cleared level so the faster you clear a level, the more bonus points you will earn. The top five high scores are recorded. Tap the display to navigate Paulie around the level (up, down, left, right). A wrongly placed tap briefly illuminates a directional input control overlay for guidance. Tap the middle to pause the game; thus producing an overview of the whole level and indicating where the remaining mice and Paulie are currently located.
Scoring:
There are five Paulie Python lives for each game. Each mouse is worth 25 points. Each bounce off Paulies body by a ball is worth 10 points. The bonus countdown begins at 5000 points.
