Gameplay

Reception

Frank Lovece, writing for Electronic Fun with Computers & Games in 1982, disliked that "there's little to the game once you've passed the first level." He pointed out that because the remaining time carries over to subsequent levels, the game gets easier as you progress.[2]

In a review long after the game's release, Keita Iida concluded: "Graphics are drab in typical Data Age fashion, and sounds consist of nothing more than blips and beeps. On the other hand, it's one of the better efforts by one of the first casualties of the classic videogame era... although that's not saying much."[1]

gollark: That sounds like capacitative touch sensing, not hall effect.
gollark: Most stuff here is metric, apart from people's heights, road distances, and people's weights *some* of the time somehow.
gollark: > Um, how comfortable are you with living in a militant commune?> militant communeThis seems vaguely worrying.
gollark: > the janitorial department wouldn't be under my managementSee, this is what I mean. Spirit's insults are just *better* than yours.
gollark: Probably not very publicly because it's probably illegal and you can't really get around that.
