Game Synopsis
©NCSX▪
Hit the islands with leaf-eared dog and cat and
engage in platform action including vine swinging, block pushing,
log hopping, seesaw jumping, waterspout leaping, and
other odd exercises. Upon selecting a beast, color
it to your taste and set it loose on the wilds. Want
an orange kitten with red ears and a tiara on top of
its head? DONE. Dogs are similarly
well colored and accessorized with aviator goggles,
headphones, and bandanas available. The action is
simple and the colors inordinately bright.

NCS Game Notes
* Ochainu
no Bouken Jima ia clearly targeted towards the
younger set. In one level, players may control a
kitty kat and pad across a platform. A whale is
waiting with its spout going full blast. Leap on to
of the complacent whale's head and wait for the jet
of water to descend and then hop upon it, only to be
lofted skyward. Once one with the cloud overhead, hop and
attack green slime beasts that are moving atop each
powder puff cloud.
* In another scene, gamers control a floppy-eared dog that meanders a
mountainside and uses its prodigious ears to glide
across chasms. Kitties may jump and double jump for
additional lift and distance to reach platforms and
to gain firmer footing on leaves, seesaws or other
platforms. Dogs don't need to double jump, they have
flapping ears for short distance flight capability.
The animals are versatile beasts and may use their
paws to grasp vines to swing across great distances
where only vines provide the mode of quick
transport. In some areas, seesaws are used to gain
height by bounding onto it and then gauging where
the beast will land. For some reason, there's always
a counterbalancing critter sitting at a seesaw and
waiting for your pet to arrive.
* In addition to platform action, there are mini-games galore such as
hopscotch, crab hunting, carton pushing to drop them
into holes so areas are accessible, cloud jumping to
gather colorful globes, a marble tossing basketball
game, a clone of Frogger where doggies crosses a
river by hopping on logs, and double-dutch jump
rope.
* There's a house decoration game where the cats and dogs
can bring all manner of consumer products into a
cottage and decorate it with teapots, entertainment
centers, chairs, tables, clocks. Dogs may be
also be positioned inside as one sees fit. The house is
viewed by way of a cut-away isometric perspective
where and entire floor is viewed from the side.
Since the houses are compartmentalized inside, each
room can be used and decorated for a specific
purposes.
