Mr. Wong's Loopy Laundry

You have to get all the laundry down the laundry chute but you can only do it one piece at a time and you've got some crazy equipment after you. The chute is at the top right of the screen with the clothes strewn around the levels that occupy the rest of the screen.

The levels are connected by ladders and completing a screen takes you to a new layout of ladders and clothes. You pick up the clothes by running over them and deposit them one at a time down the chute. When you move, you continue in that direction until you hit something or change direction.

On the first screen, an iron and soap subs are after you and later a bag of washing also starts in pursuit. They are all fatal to touch and tend to home in on you, trying to trap you in a dead end. You do have some starch to freeze them but it is a limited supply and refills don't appear for very long for you to pick them up.

Good News

P. A careful eye and fast action required to avoid getting trapped.

Bad News

N. Simple task becomes repetitive.
