The buffoon who wrote this program appears to be one of those people who believe that to make a game challenging, it has to be virtually unplayable.

Just picture it. You're digging a tunnel and coming down it after you is a succession of monsters. Your only defence against them is to hurl a hall at them. That kills the first one, the rest keep coming, and you have to wait a few seconds for a new ball.

What often happens is that even if you're moving away as fast as possible, a second monster catches you up before your new ball arrives. So at best this game is a lottery, and worst it's mass murder of the defenceless.

The programmer had some other duff ideas: like including a really awful little tune which after your first few random deaths will make you tear your hair out.

Incidentally the aim of the game is to gobble cherries, apples and lime-cake but you'll find it all pretty fruitless. Even if you succeed, you only get the same again, except even more unplayable.

The cassette inlay tells you that this game is as fast, furious and mean as they come. There is a certain truth in this. The game is extremely mean, and if you buy it, you'll fast become furious.
