You and your mate are running out of food and, being the main provider for
the set, you have to go out and get the shopping.  There are a variety of
foodstuffs scattered across the landscape; you have to collect them and
return to your ever-hungry wife.  Along the way there are all manner of
nasty creatures attempting to stop you from getting on with your tasks, or
even simply on the lookout for a quick snack.  You are armed with your
trusty pistol and are thus able to fight back against the voracious
hounds. 

There are four types of weapon in the game.  When you have the most
powerful (and the hardest to get), the machine gun, you will be able to
walk and fire at the same time.  Note that whilst you have this weapon you
can only jump from the running position.

The word FOX in the bottom left hand corner of the screen contains your
Pantometer; this represents how Foxx is feeling by the length of his
tongue.  Every time Foxx is hurt his stamina is reduced and after a
while his tongue begins to hang out; it it gets too long he dies.
Foxx must avoid jumping into walls as this will also kill him.  Foxx
will drown if he falls into the water.  When you have lost a life the
screen will scroll back to the beginning of the current section of the
map. 

You must shoot the enemies and avoid contact with them or their fire.  You
start out armed with a pistol, which has a slow rate of fire and is not
very accurate.  At various points in the game there are other weapons to
be found that have varying characteristics.  You can pick these up by just
running or jumping into them.

During the game you will come across different kinds of food; these are of
two types: collectable and edible.
Collectable: These are the various items that your wife has sent you out
to retrieve; sausages, apples, pies and the like.  You can only carry four
at a time; the ones which you are currently carrying are displayed on the
status line.  You are rewarded for taking food home to the vixen by having
your stamina restored.
Edible: Throughout the game there are coops full of nesting chickens and
burrows full of sleeping bunnies.  These can all be eaten for extra points
and extra stamina.

Some of the burrows are short cuts that allow you to get home quickly.
Once you have gone through a short cut one way that route stays open,
providing easy access between the current section of the map and home.

You start the game with three lives; there is one extra life per level in
the shape of a huntsman's horn.
