Cletus & The Tree of Delicious Nuts
The Story So Far...
Cuzin Cletus is fed up with the bushytail's quest for squirrel world domination.  He's discovered a map that leads to the Tree of Delicious Nuts.  This is the tree from whence all skwerls sprang.  It is said to grow somewhere in the Pacific Northwest near Seattle or Vancouver...

In any event, Cletus decides he's going to destroy the Tree.  To do this, he must go on many adventures in order to obtain the Axe of Vengeance.  On these adventures he must avoid all manner of vicious chitterboxes.  Once he finds the axe, he must find the Tree and chop it down!

Easier said than done - the skwerl world has united to put obstacles in Cletus' way, you'll need brains, and quite a few bullets to reach the Tree of Delicious Nuts in one piece!

Legend

Cletus, the hero of our game.	A log, walk on them, jump on them.

Spikey plants hurt you if you touch them.	Mmm!  Cletus loves a chicken leg.  Eat when you can.
Cobwebs, simply brush them aside.	Bullets, shoot at critters by pressing 'z'
The golden acorn - it allows you to escape to the next level.	A yellow key opens a yellow door, and so on.
A nasty skwerl, they will try everything to stop you.	Escape to the next level through here.

Hints
· Save your bullets, often you need to use them wisely.
· Sometimes you have to push things around to be able to jump higher.
· The order you use keys in is often important.
· You have to walk with platforms that go left/right, or you'll fall off.
· You can walk on spikey plants, but don't do it for too long!
· If your food level gets to 0, your health starts to go down.
· Snails are your friend - you can jump on their backs to get higher.
· Remember that you can drop items - this can be important!
· If a platform doesn't seem to be coming, try making the screen scroll in its direction and see if it comes then.  Only platforms in view, or just out of view move.
· The game remembers which level you are on, press ESC to quit and then try again if you get stuck.
· Write down the codes for levels as they are revealed to you, then the next time you can play you can type it in, click load, and you'll be taken straight there. (Remember, codes are case-sensitive).
· You can use other critters as platforms if you're stuck.
· You can jump on a spider web, just before it vanishes.
