Still one of the best platformer on ST. The gameplay, level design and controls are still really enjoyable. Jumping with the button gives it a good "console-like" control scheme. The only bugging thing is the flip scrolling. That often makes you stop moving, waiting for enemies to walk back on screen, as you can't see how far they may have to walk before turning back.

Good platformer, let down by high difficulty, slider controls, cheap hits and occasional poor stage design. But the pros like the graphics (better than the Amiga version) and despite the above faults solid playability make this a damn decent ST game.
