Review:
It's obvious to me there's a lot of love in this title for the venerable C= 64. Sadly, I no longer have the hardware, but I am able to play this just fine with VICE. The digital download including the startup (.bat) file for the cartridge file is a huge plus too, as I'm not a VICE guru.
Controls seem tight, pace isn't too frenetic which is a good thing for me, being as my reflexes aren't what they used to be.
The artwork is great, level design is good, I know there are places I haven't figured out how to access, which keeps me wondering and going back to see if I can figure it out.
The checkpoint system is a great addition, and they seem to be well placed in terms of level progression.
All in all, a very satisfying title.
