Angel Kids

Angel Kids is a 2-player arcade game released by Sega in 1985. Players take turns controlling two flying (angelic) children holding a rope. Pull the two joysticks outwards and the rope gets taut. This throws a third (normal) child into balloons, which when broken reveal items. The third child falls and you must move the angelic children with the rope beneath the falling child to allow the child to bounce again. There are items to collect to score points, while avoiding nasties on your journey up a tree. The tree looks like a beanstalk and as such, the game could be a parody of Jack and the Beanstalk.
