I’ve been away all day, so I wasn’t able to review it. I really can’t say much more than what everybody else has said, though, so I won’t bother.

I will say this, though: This game is worth downloading just for the music, which isn’t packed into a DLL like many other games. Everything else, though – graphics, control, even the main character – are so bad that I can’t recommend it as a game. Sorry.

I agree with #4 : will be a funny game when bugs will be corrected. But for the moment it is unplayable

Thanks for another free game that downloaded without any problems on Windows XP. Also, I would like to thank all the people that take the time to write comments – good and bad – I read these before I make my decisions to download. These games are free for a day and I hope that they stay that way. Also, just because something is free, doesn’t mean you have to take one.

I agree with you fully on what you say gpc111 comment #20 (and thanks for your kind words) the password thing really is a bind. I’ve said before that all the games I have that use this form of saving your progress end up not being played no matter how good they are because I’m always losing the scraps of paper I use to write the codes down. I’ve used notebooks in the past, but even they disappear.

Secularsage, I agree with your ideas regarding the sense of entitlement some people have. And although opinions are like (expletive deleted), that doesn’t mean everybody is entitled to yours.(Not you personally).

I appreciate reviews, whether good, bad, or indifferent. And I apologize for “singling you out” in my previous post, which completely diluted the message. Some people are just incapable of a polite, respectful “no, thank you”, and it’s very discouraging to my view of humanity (HA!) to constantly see all of the negative, unkind things people say on this site.

Think I will give this one a miss as magnasoft games always seem to be bug ridden – almost as if they are beta releases.

I like silly games but this one is just lousy. Slow and no fun for me. As mentioned before, the responsiveness to keys is below par even on a new machine with a decent vidcard & that’s really frustrating with such a simple game.

Thank you WR, #10, for your excellent review. I won’t be downloading this after reading your thoughts. Most offers from this publisher IMO have really poor controls. Have you ever heard of a device called a mouse? I think most computers have these attached to them. I don’t mind clone games. If it can be made fun why not play it again? Just make it so it’s playable. To me the worst part of Magussoft games is the password that you need to advance to further levels. This is almost year 2008. No one wants to have to write down and enter passwords anymore. Please Magnussoft update your games to the modern era. Spend more time on gameplay than you spend on your intro logo. The initial logo is very cool and very impressive. But after that it’s all downhill. I want to like you and your games but you make it difficult.
