Game Description
In the game Challenge, you're a duck, and life isn't easy. Not unlike the proverbial road-crossing chicken, you must make your way up and down the screen, avoiding hungry rodents along the way.Your duck starts in the bottom right-hand corner of the maze and is trying to reach the upper left-hand corner. Each time you reach the top or the bottom of the screen, you may advance one more space to the left. As you do, letters appear at the top of the screen that spell out words and phrases of encouragement.
The path you must follow is displayed by flashing walls. Each time you reach the top or bottom of the screen and advance past a wall you are awarded 100 points, as well as an additional 100 points for the first wall cleared.
Make it all the way to the upper-left hand side and you clear the level. Then, you start over again in the bottom right-hand corner, this time facing even more rodents.
You start the games with six lives which are displayed in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. The game ends if you out of lives or the six-minute time limit runs out.
