 Imagine the scene:
You are Cyril, a likeable old gentleman - the proprietor of a small but busy chemist's shop. One evening, after a hard day's work, you accidentally take a swig of a potent liquid: a strong reducing agent.
Within minutes you have shrunk down to the size of a bottle of aspirins. Frightened and alone, at first you panic... then you remember the magic elixir which is stored at the back of the shop on the top shelf.
The elixir just might restore you to your normal size... it's your only hope. But can you possibly reach it; you'll have to work out a suitable route by climbing up and down and across the shelves.
A fascinating, humourous game packed with strategical puzzles and problems. Keep clear of the lipstick missiles, leap over the exploding flash-bulbs, dodge the dripping acid, and watch out for the curious "circulasaurus" creature!
