Gameplay[edit]

The objective of the game is to protect a bird's egg by making the bird jump right before a man called Block Buster swings a mallet down.

  • 1st level difficulty: Block Buster swings the mallet on the ground at an average speed, forming a small crack. The mallet hits the ground at the 5th beat.
  • 2nd level difficulty: Block Buster swings the mallet on the ground a bit quicker, forming a larger crack. The mallet hits the ground at the 4th beat.
  • 3rd level difficulty: Block Buster fakes out a swing, then swings the mallet on the ground. The mallet strikes the ground at the 6th beat.
