===== Description =====

Aerial Antics is an entertaining game in which we will spend a good time in front of the PCW screen. Its graphics are quite good and the handling through the keyboard is quite fast.

Our mission will be to install television antennas in homes. For this we will have to get on the roofs trying not to fall as we will lose a life. To begin, we must go through the store where the antennas are piled up, which can only be picked up one by one. By this, we mean that every time we mount an antenna in the house, we must return to the store for the next one.

But not everything is so easy, this is where our head comes into play, skill is essential to pass the phase, since we will have to move the stairs in the direction that suits us, remember that we have to install them in the houses and to get there To the roof we have to place the stairs strategically. If we place the stairs wrong, we will fall into the void losing a life, or falling from a certain height. The stairs can be mounted on top of each other to reach the top, but once they are mounted on top of each other they can no longer be moved, so think carefully about where you want to place them.

The game will change level, when we mount all the television antennas. If we place the stairs wrong, we will not be able to pass the phase and we will have to play again from the beginning. Try to conserve as many lives as possible since every time we change levels, it will be more difficult.
