About Spanky's Quest

Spanky's Quest follows a monkey whose picnic plans are interrupted by a witch. She traps him within a series of brick towers and transforms his fruit into hostile creatures, setting the stage for his journey.

Progression involves navigating six towers, each containing ten levels and a concluding boss encounter. To advance, the player must collect a required number of keys, which are sometimes held by enemies. A magic ball, accidentally dropped by the witch, serves as the primary tool for both combat and key retrieval.

This ball can be powered up by bouncing it on Spanky's head, cycling through four distinct sport based attack modes. Additionally, Spanky can temporarily acquire special abilities by finding different hats, which are lost upon taking damage or completing a level. The structure presents a challenging sequence of obstacle filled stages.
