About this game

Imagine a French chimney sweep called Smudge....It's not easy, and neither is our hero's task! He has to clean all the chimneys in the village of Le Crelle before he can go home. He has already been hampered on his way to work by drivers on the wrong side of the road, sudden obstacles and bouncing footballs projected into the street by ruffian school kids. Once he has parked his bike in the lay-by, you've got to help him use his Jetpack to mount the roof and lower him into each stack. Only then do you discover that everything is not well. Strange airborne creatures - the "Moonees" - well known local pranksters, looking for fun, try to knock Smudge off the roof again and again. But with all that Galic charm and some help from you he perseveres, and as the say in Paris "If at first you don't succeed, it's time to make a clean sweep". Therefore after each screen you must return to the local laundry and rest so that Smudge can regain his strength to tackle the next type of building, before finally achieving his ambition - to clean the towers of the Mayor's mansion.
