The aim of the game is to solve various puzzles in order to obtain a boat so that Dizzy can return to his friends and family, the Yolkfolk.

Adding to the difficulty of the game was the fact that the player had two main tasks to complete; the escape from the islands, and the collection of the thirty coins.

Upon escaping the final island, the Shopkeeper character appears and tells Dizzy that he cannot leave without finding all thirty coins.

Commodore Format printed a "complete" solution and map which like the Codemasters 0898 helpline which gave a walkthrough did not include the hidden coins, frustrating many players.

This version was released for the Evercade handheld game system in October 2020 as part of The Oliver Twins Collection compilation cartridge.
