Nuts & Milk
Summary
is a puzzle-platform game developed and published by Japanese software developer Hudson Soft in 1983. The game was released for the FM-7, MSX, NEC PC-8801, NEC PC-6001, and later to the Famicom in Japan. Along with Lode Runner, it was the first third-party video game to be released on a Nintendo console.
Both versions of Nuts & Milk involve the player moving through various levels while collecting an assortment of fruit scattered throughout each of them. By gathering all the fruit on a particular screen, the player will gain access to a previously unopened house door containing Milk's fiancée, Yogurt. When the player makes contact with the female blob, they are advanced to the next level to start the process anew. Movement through these levels is accomplished by using the directional pad or keyboard to move Milk across the stage while avoiding pitfalls and other obstacles, most notably the character's rival, Nuts. If contact is made at any time during game play with Nuts or other harmful objects such as miniature blimps, the player will lose a life and have to restart the current level, with all fruit reset back to their initial positions. Once all three of Milk's lives are lost in this fashion, the game ends.
In the Famicom version, Milk can jump a short distance vertically or horizontally, allowing him to traverse pits or quickly gain access to an adjacent platform. If the player falls from too great a distance, Milk will become momentarily dazed and unable to move until the player joggles him awake with the jump button. Rope bridges are suspended in mid-air on most levels, and by using the directional pad, the player can climb them up or down as well as walk across them once they reach the top. In all, 50 individual levels exist on the Famicom version, and each one can be skipped freely by pressing the select button. Once a player has cycled through all fifty of them, he will return to the first level and restart the sequence until all of Milk's lives are lost.
