Information

In Oil Panic, the player controls a man catching leaking oil. When the buckets is full, the player must pour it into a bucket held by the guy below you. A life is lost if the player misses a drop of oil, tries to catch oil with a full bucket, or tosses oil on a customer. Game A is an easier game, while Game B requires more skill and coordination.
