This one takes me back a bit! Definitely more my sister's game than mine but here we go....

====What Kind of Game?====

This was a little platform game, as many Amiga games were. Only instead of being a plain up and down platform, it went round a tower.

It can be played as a one or two player game. However, one person will have to wait until the other has finished their turn.

====The Aim====

You play a little green thing with a nose like a pig! The idea is to get to the top of the tower without being knocked off, or falling in the water. Sounds simple I hear you cry! Believe me, for one who spent hours and hours, it's not!

====Controls====

This is joystick controlled. Very simple, left, right, up for jump and fire to shoot things out of your nose!

Pushing up can also control mushroom looking lifts and enter doorways.

====Baddies====

These aren't very scary. Mostly they're balls! They bounce either straight up and down or chase you down stairs!

There are flying things too that are pretty hard to describe. The only way to avoid these is to jump down a ledge and hope you don't end up in the water, or enter a door if you're near one.

====Graphics and Sound====

These are quite detailed, especially for the time that the game was released. As I've said, you're climbing a tower, and each brick is detailed.

The water moves and your little player blinks!

The music is quite annoying, but there is a toggle to turn it off.

The sound effects could be classed as annoying, but I thought they were quite sweet. They're tweeky, if you get my meaning, a bit like R2-D2. As you go up and down stairs there's a different sound.

====Levels====

If you get dizzy easily, then this game will certainly drive you round the bend! Each time you go in a door, the screen pins round and you come out somewhere else on the level! Also, as you make your way up and round, the screen turns to keep you in line with the green thing.

I never got passed the first level, but my sister did, and I can tell you that the next level is near enough identical to the first.

====Recommended?====

If you want to experience some nostalgia, then you would probably enjoy this game for about 15 minutes, but then you'll probably get a bit bored.

If you've got a strong will, then you'll probably sit there for ages trying to get through it, although you'll probably be shouting at the screen.

If you have a go have fun - but you have been warned...!


Thanks for reading
