To the best of my knowledge this is completely original - certainly very playable anyway. You have to slap up bill hoardings, with one sheet sufficient to complete screen one and twelve required for the final triumph, after which there is a riddle to solve.

Initially the correct roll of paper needs selecting, then the ladder has to be lugged into position and climbed. If you judgement was sound, as you press the fire button the roll will unfurl and stick; should you have the wrong roll or be out of alignment it's back to the drawing board. A few figments of Tasket's imagination waltz across the pavement attempting to frazzle you, and horror of horrors, water-down your carefully mixed paste!

A few well-aimed flicks with the brush should skittle them: best to keep an eye on the Paste Condition Gauge though, 'cos if it turns to stodge you're defenceless. Let it be said that life up the ladder is not without complications - don't lean too far.
