A fun, but difficult Commodore 16-original. The only problem with this kind of games is the 'why play, when..'. Why play this, when Cosmic Causeway (C64) exists? Why play Cosmic Causeway (C64), when Yoomp! (Atari) exists? It's basically the same thing, but why play the 'lesser version', when versions with more features, faster, smoother and more graphics exists? I think Yoomp! is the best of these games, then Cosmic Causeway, then the various versions of Trailblazer. Still, it's a fun, little game - these games just make me a bit sad, because they are basically obsolete beyond mere curiosity.

One of the best games for Atari! Incredible two-player gameplay, speed, jumping... The only one problem is there is too few levels - only 20. I wish there was a 100 or 200 and level editor! :)

Just like all of the great games this had a simple but addictive idea. Land your ball on the right colored tiles and avoid the wrong ones. Great sense of speed - especially if you hit the warp tile WHOOSH!!, nice feature of carrying leftover time to the next stage. Excellent.
