The briefing

About this game

Apple Panic is an action platform game based on Space Panic. Players control a digger armed with a shovel and must defeat hostile, legged apples across timed levels.

The digger can walk left and right and climb ladders, but cannot jump. To defeat an apple, dig a hole, lure the enemy into it, and strike it with the shovel so it falls to the level below. Apples may require falls of one to three levels depending on their color, while deeper falls award more points.

Successively cleared levels contain more enemies. Apple Panic was released for Apple II, Atari 8-bit, Commodore VIC-20, and DOS.
