Manky

Manky is a single-screen platformer inspired by early 1980s games like Chuckie Egg and Manic Miner. The game follows Manky, who urgently needs the toilet, but it has been walled up. To reach it, he must collect keys and a set number of eggs laid by a roaming bird, while avoiding piles of grain that are fatal unless he eats an egg first. A timer adds pressure, and failure results in an unfortunate accident.

Poor Manky is absolutely desperate for the toilet, but some joker has walled it up! If he’s going to get to the bog in time, along with the keys scattered around the screen he’ll have to collect a quota of eggs which are laid by the roaming yellow bird that also consumes the piles of grain littered about the place – Manky himself has a violent and fatal reaction to the grain, although if he first chows down on an egg he can eat one pile.
