Tom Vacuum Rush

Jerry is a mouse, and we all know that mice reproduce fast, that is a common fact. His family grew large and now there are dozens of them. However you will notice that all those mice are the same, that is actually Jerry replicated in dozen copies. Tom was somehow managing one Jerry, but against so many he had to think of something and that something is a vacuum cleaner.

So, the game is quite simple. Use cursor to move Tom around and use vacuum tube to aim at Jerry. Once you have him in your sights, press down arrow key and shoot the tube out. That is when dog named Spyke is coming in, he is Tom's enemy and he needs to be avoided. If you hit Spyke you don't lose a life of anything, but you also won't make any points, he is there just to distract you and to be in your way. To make things even more complicated there is a time limit to the game. If the time runs out, no matter how many mice you have collected - you lose.

The game is basically made in a gold miner manner. That is a man in a mining cart who uses steel rope to catch and take out gold nuggets from the mines. Now, imagine Tom instead of that man, and vacuum cleaner instead of a steel rope and instead of the gold Jerry. And all that makes Tom Vacuum Rush. Simple isn't it?

At the end, if the time runs out or you lose a life somehow, press menu and then press play to start the game over. There is also an instructions button, if you need to review the controls, although they are quite simple because you only use arrow keys on the keyboard.
