Point and click arcade game. Brush the germs off your teeth before they rot them all away. Keep an eye on your toothpaste, if it's close to running out, a fresh supply will appear on the tongue for you to collect. Be quick, before you end up swallowing it!

This is a small game I put together during my final year at university (1998). The idea behind it was to have this game played in dentists waiting rooms for children to play, to illustrate the importance of dental hygiene. The idea itself was formulated back in 1993, when I attempted to program a version on the Acorn Archimedes computer, using BBC BASIC V. My coding expertise then was too lousy, so I shelved it until five years later! I produced a Shockwave version in 1999, and have not touched it until now. All I've done is updated the movie to D8.5, and corrected some bugs that cropped up as a result. Having seen what is now capable in 2002, the game is woeful in comparison, and would like to improve it further, therefore I have made the source available to you all to pick apart at your leisure.
