Repellent can be used on pests, the frying pan can knock out bigger baddies and a slingshot is useful for hitting faraway targets. A pirate costume can be used for a short time of invincibility. Various pick ups can be collected. Cat biscuits are needed to pay Teddy’s ransom, while medi-teddies, first aid kits and fruits are used to restore health. To complete a level the player has to open the exit gate. This is done by collecting all jigsaw pieces. These are locked away in treasure chests and the player has to collect keys to get them.
