The stampede from the evil Mr Shade leads Skipper the mosquito and Suzy accidentally to the middle of Shade's factory. You now need to help them through the factory before Mr Shade comes. But beware!

The fourth in a series of adventure games with some learning material for children. The characters are harder to move than in previous games from this series, because the cursor keys are necessary as well as the mouse, so you have to figure out when to use which input device.

More than 200 tasks and puzzles.  Learn as you play - facts about plastic, oil, glass and many everyday objects.
