Poor Ed! He needs YOUR help and he needs it RIGHT NOW! You see, Ed is a really friendly little alien who made the mistake of tossing a mysterious can out of his spaceship. Splat! The can dropped onto Earth and now everything is going crazy! Ed has to fix things before Grogh the Hellish, the bad guy who found the can, uses its contents to dominate the world. When Ed arrives on Earth, Grogh has already declared himself Master of the Earth and only Ed can put things right.

In Tonic Trouble, you will have to become Ed (don’t worry, you will soon forget that he looks a bit weird and is REALLY purple!) and explore bizarre worlds, solve problems and avoid all the nasty enemy traps and attacks from Killer Vegetables and the Helling Guards.

Twelve different levels await you…each one filled with unique challenges. The first important thing to do is to find and rescue The Doc. He is just a bit wacky, but will prove to be a very valuable friend who will guide you through your perilous journey and send you to find the items you will need to put an end to Grogh and his pack of fiendish helpers!
