    One complaint is the lack of sound effects. Otherwise, the game is an interesting platformer. I like the jump mechanic unless you land on the spikes. The graphics has Bob the cat do some charming animation reactions. The music is light hearted on the Amiga. The AtariST matches with a nice digital file. Recommended.

    Excellent, atmospheric pixel art but something is wrong with playability.
