Graphics,Story, Story, Did I say....Story?! Oh - its addictive!!! Some bugs.....Sooo addictive...

Bomb'X

Wibble World Giddy
An accurate and enjoyable 'Dizzy' clone with colourful graphics. Nothing new, and fairly short.
Castle Of Illusion
Good gameplay. Easy to play Can be a little too easy to play.
