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!

Gameplay

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. Skipper and Suzy can walk, climb, jump, push and pull. You play alternately Suzy and Skipper through 4 chapters. Click on mosquito or Alpha for help. Many new exciting characters. More than 200 tasks and puzzles. Learn as you play - facts about plastic, oil, glass and many everyday objects.
