The Spectrum version was well received, with Your Sinclair awarding the game 83%, and praising the big sprites and smooth animation when compared to the original game.[3]

gollark: I don't actually know.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: No, they go to 128GB.
gollark: I really wonder why these games are so big though. What are they *doing*?
gollark: My laptop's low-capacity SSD can only store two of these "50GB games". I mostly get smaller games without fancy textures or whatever though.
