In this game, the player helps Sammy with the second half of his job: returning objects to their correct scales.
Objects will come by on a conveyor belt, and Sammy must pick them up, decide which scale they belong to, and toss them into a Scale Gate.
Objects are classified in the same way as in "The Great Scale Adventure", so look up at the description of the scales Sammy patrols if you need some review.
The goal is to sort out the different objects according to their respective sizes.
The way you score points is similar to "The Great Scale Adventure"; when you send an object to the correct scale, your score increases, but when you send an object to the wrong scale, your score decreases.
The buttons and controls are explained in the intro scene. After clicking on one of the buttons at the bottom left (S,M,F, or the note from Sally), the factory and its conveyor belt start up, and gameplay begins. Click on an object to have Sammy pick it up; then click on the Scale Gate corresponding to the scale you think it belongs to, and Sammy will toss it in.
If Sammy tossed the object into the correct Scale Gate, he will jump up and down with joy, and your score will increase. If Sammy tossed it into the wrong Scale Gate, he will look over his shoulder with regret, and your score will decrease.
Gameplay continues until time runs out (except in Challenge Mode), which is shown by the bar in the lower right of the screen.
NORMAL MODE
Clicking any of the normal buttons starts Normal Mode. The normal buttons are the ones that say S, M, and F; S for slow, M for medium, and F for fast. In Normal Mode, objects come out on the conveyor belt at the speed you picked, and you must sort as many as possible until time runs out. The Results Monitor will come down when gameplay ends and display your statistics from that round. The RESET button on the Results Monitor returns you to the intro scene.
CHALLENGE MODE
Clicking on the button beneath Sally's note (which by the way, reads "A Challenge for Sammy - *heart* Sally) begins Challenge Mode. The speed of the conveyor belt in Challenge Mode is variable, starting slowly but gradually getting quicker as time goes on. Challenge Mode ends either when you send 5 objects to the incorrect scale, or when you let 10 objects go by unsorted. Also, when you let an object go by unsorted, your score will decrease. The goal, as in the previous game's challenge mode, is to score as many points as possible (there is no limit to your score in this Challenge Mode either).
