This is a 2-player game designed so that each player has very different abilities. Player 1 controls Quakman (a Canadian Goose) and can shoot missiles rapidly across the screen at Growl. Player 2 controls Growl (a bear) and can slide blocks across the screen towards Quakman. Each player has a very different goal. Quakman’s goal is to defeat Growl in all 8 stages. The counter at the bottom of the screen represents time, and therefore Quakman tries to defeat Growl in the fastest time possible. Growl’s goal on the other hand is to prevent Quakman from navigating through all 8 stages for as long as possible.
