About this game

Flip & Flop is an isometric board and platform game released in 1983. Its platforms are connected by ladders, and the player alternates between Flip, a jumping kangaroo, and Mitch, an ape that moves along the platforms.

A zoo-keeper pursues Flip while Mitch is chased by a net. Sticky fields can trap these hazards for a short time. Falling beyond the playing-field border or being caught costs a life, while revealed fields remain uncovered.

The objective is to pass all marked fields. The game scrolls as the active character approaches the border, and every five levels includes a brief circus presentation. Later levels increase the challenge, including fields that must be uncovered twice and stages with no sticky fields.
