An alright ladder platformer with decent level variation.

Hitler has only got one balllll
Göring has two but very smalllll
Himmler is rather similarr
But poor old Goebbels has no balls at alllll

Tightly designed setpieces in one big map (unlike the boring cavern in Pitfall 2 for example) but clunky controls that make the exploration feel unnatural. Laughed a lot at the fact the police arrest the mole in a text crawl at the end out of nowhere
