Tropical Trouble is a game that involves a monkey, branches, bananas, and bugs. What could be better than that? The point of this game is to collect as many bananas as you can without touching the bugs.
You will start with 3 lives and each time you touch a bug you will lose one. Once you lose all three the game is over. Using your arrow keys jump from branch to branch collecting the bananas. If you want to drop down to the branch below you simply push the 'down' arrow key. Make sure there isnt a critter below you or you will lose a life!
There is a way to get rid of the critters on the screen. You will see coconuts and pineapples hanging in the trees as well as bananas. If you jump on them they will break loose and fall. Hint: Time your jumps on the pineapples and coconuts so that they fall on top of the critters below. This will remove them from the board and give you extra points! They don't fall instantly so the timing can be tricky!
This is a fun game but those crafty little bugs have me working very hard to avoid them! Good luck!
