The game combines side-scrolling platform action with mission-driven objectives. Players switch between characters to complete themed jobs such as flattening roads, rescuing animals, collecting apples, fixing walls, and gathering scattered town objects. Many sections are explored on foot through compact stages, with keys used to open new areas and progress. Some stages use health-based challenge instead of a strict timer, and three difficulty settings adjust time limits and object placement. After the main tasks are finished, the player controls Scoop for a final picnic-collection sequence.
Bob
The main character, tasked with finding missing roof tiles, music sheets, parcels, and fence pieces, as well as feeding Pilchard the cat.
Wendy
Bob's partner, involved in the picnic preparations.
Roley
A roller whose job is to flatten the road before the picnic.
Lofty
A crane who helps rescue ducklings that are drifting away.
Dizzy
A mixer who helps Spud gather apples for the picnic.
Muck
An excavator who helps Farmer Pickles repair a wall.
Scoop
A playable character used in the final picnic item-collection sequence.
Learn each character's route first, then clear the more exploration-heavy fetch stages before the tighter action sections. Check corners, rooftops, and behind foreground objects, since many required items are hidden off the most obvious path. On harder settings, move carefully and conserve health by avoiding unnecessary hits. If progress stalls, look for a key or a previously unopened area before backtracking too far.
