Evading Wile E. Coyote and the many obstacles placed in your path, you as Road Runner venture through the many captivating levels collecting as many points as you can.
SEED - Keeping one step ahead of Wile E. Coyote, you eat as much seed as you can find but beware if you get caught you lose a life. If you should miss 5 of the seeds you will faint and also lose a life. Upon eating seed containing iron filings Wile E. Coyote may slow you down by using his magnet. Points are scored for all seeds eaten.
