Cu*Ber

Published in Home Computing Weekly #69

A machine code arcade game in which you must help Cuber hop on to each of 28 cubes forming a pyramid to change them into the required colour.

Coloured balls bounce down the screen and the effect they have depends on their colour. If a blue ball reaches the bottom, it turns into a viper which moves at random. Landing on this destroys one of your three lives. There is also a nasty piece of work called a Dork which descends at random and changes the cubes back to their original colour. Landing on this creature gives you a handy bonus score. There are discs alongside the pyramid onto which you can jump and these are safe zones.

Three levels of play; at the start you are shown graphically what to avoid and what is beneficial. There is a short display of Cuber hopping around a mini pyramid.

The instructions on the insert explain the game comprehensively. Screen display is good. Loading was slow but caused no problems.

An entertaining and amusing game.
