Erik, Olaf, and Baleog were abducted by the evil alien Tomator and had to solve levels across different worlds to return home.

  • baleog can attack with sword and shoot arrows.
  • Olaf he can stop most enemies with his shield and glide using his shield as a hang glider.

When wounded, the Vikings lost resistance points, which could be regenerated with the food found in the levels. To pass the level, all Vikings must be transported to the end point alive. The levels required a teamwork of the three characters and their skills to reach the end.
