K.S.-n-Kickin is a 3D[1] puzzle/adventure computer game made by ARTWORLD and Big Future Ltd. for Kinder Surprise, with music licensed from Telstar Records. The game was designed to work on Windows 95 and 98 (although it also works on newer Windows such as Windows Vista, and Windows 7). The game was a promotion by Ferrero to "strengthen their foothold in the younger age group market".[2].

The player plays as a Kinder Surprise egg (a Kinder egg with a face, hands, feet and a hat), through 40 levels (as well as some bonus levels). In the game there are two 'level select' maps, which are walked round to the level to play. On the maps each level is represented by a Kinder Surprise Coin.[3]
Levels are completed either by removing all the Golden Eggs and Green Weeds while avoiding 'nasty Kinder toys', or in some cases by reaching a yellow button.[3]
In the game there are three tools. These are the Egg Extractor, the Claw and the Weed Puller. There are also some bonus items that help you complete the level. A number of levels have to be completed to move to the next part of the map.
In a normal level you receive 50 points, and in a harder level 100 points. In 'challenge' levels points are doubled. In every level the following bonus points can be achieved:
