## What is Martin?

Optimized for foldable iPhone: unfold iPhone Duo for the enhanced big-screen mode. Held upright, it shows the whole stage at once, with your hearts, inventory and buttons in a side panel. Turn it on its side for a wide view with the HUD in a column. The layout switches as you fold, unfold or turn the phone.

Tabletop mode: half-fold it like a tiny laptop: the game fills the top screen, and the bottom screen shows your map, inventory, hearts and buttons.

Martin is a curly-mopped kid with a big ear, heavy brows and a smug grin, and he has a whole neighborhood to annoy.

Pull capers on his dad, Nelson, then get away before anyone works out who did it. Salt the sugar bowl. Slip a frog in a hat. Sneak through the house, the neighbors' yard, Sal's store, the park and the school, three stages each. Mind his mother, Rena, too. She's a snake, and Martin thinks her lunges are hugs.

SIMPLE CONTROLS
Drag to walk. Walk over the frog and Martin picks it up; walk into the gold ring and it's delivered. No buttons for that. One big button does the rest: it's your slingshot (tap to fire, hold to aim), and near a hiding spot it says HIDE.

SNEAK AND RUN
Stay out of sight, duck into hiding spots and watch where the grown-ups are looking. Get spotted and Nelson comes after you, shouting all the way in his own recorded voice.

SLINGSHOT TROUBLE
Lock on and let fly. Break a window to pull someone off their post, bonk a bird, knock down tin cans. Load a stink bomb into your slingshot and let fly: deliver prank items to the mission target from a distance, or just walk into the gold ring.

FLASHLIGHT NIGHTS
Some jobs happen after dark. Keep fresh batteries in your flashlight and stay out of Nelson's beam.

DICKIE K'S
Spend your allowance on bubble gum, stink pellets, rope, a Groucho disguise, roller skates and plenty more. All prices are in pretend pennies. There's nothing to buy with real money.

LEARN TO FLY
Out of hearts? Nelson hauls you up on the roof, tapes newspaper wings to your shoulders and tosses you off. Flap through shrinking, swinging gaps past bobbing birds and laundry, then land in the leaf pile for one more chance.

NEIGHBORHOOD NIGHTS
Finish the campaign and the streets keep going, with endless generated blocks of new challenges.

ODD JOBS
Talk to the neighbors and take on side quests for extra coins, like retrieving a parcel that may or may not say RIBBIT.

No ads. No in-app purchases. No tracking. Your game stays on your phone.
