As a reward for finishing the game the children got a comicbook screensaver.

Scenario

Serveral alien lifeforms have come to Earth. A Baaraddelskelliumfatrexius Beast, a Poppito tree, Travast Polong, a Blathereen and a Rakweed plant. They have to get back to their home planets. If they stay on Earth for to long they might invade the planet. Rani Chandra and Mr Smith want to sent them home.

The alien lifeforms come from two different planets Raxacoricofallapatorius and Polongus.

End of the game

Rani Chandra and Mr Smith manage to sent all alien life forms back to their home planet. The Baaraddelskelliumfatrexius Beast is sent to an area of the tall forest of Raxacoricofallapatorius without any Raxacoricofallapatorians, so that it couldn't be harmed by them. The Poppito tree also stays there. The Blathereen and the Rakweed are sent to the chalky hills of Raxacoricofallapatorius. And Travast Polong starts to live in the bog of Polongus.

How to play

The player has to decide which planet and area he wants to send the alien lifeforms to, so that all of them survive. He also needs to make sure that the alien lifeforms do not harm each other.

The player can't sent the alien lifeforms to the wrong places. If he wants to do so he is stopped by Rani Chandra, who says that this would be the wrong area for the animal and that he needs to sent it to a different area. The player only needs the mouse to put the alien lifeform to the right planet.

• On Raxacoricofallapatorius there is a vinegar sea, an ice floe, chalky hills and a tall tree forest.
• On Polongus there is a desert and a slimy bog.
• The Blathereen live in chalky hills and tall tree forests. They freeze and calcify on ice planets.
• Baaraddelskelliumfatrexius Beasts can live in tall tree forests and chalky hills. They don't survive on ice floe, in a vinegar sea, in the desert or in the bog because there’s no food for them in those habitats.
• The Poppito tree is a spindly tree with calcium roots. It lives in the tall tree forest and likes chalky soil. Chalky hills are too rocky for it to plant its roots.
• Travast Polong is slimy and can survive in a bog.
