Fudge 123 2024-12-15 1 point Amiga version

A brilliant side scroller shooter ruined by very hard later levels,use of auto fire is a must as the game gets hyper intense towards the ends of each level,also a nice idea is used when equipping ships in the shop,buying differing kinds of shields and grades of bullets,but some new to the game may not know you can buy more ships with the money after each level ends,or add more than 3 ships if you get later into the game.

The bosses start off not too tough but past level 3 they get really hard,there's a re occouring enemy that burrows out of the sea bed and makes a trail of shootable tubes that is a real tough one,but if you can get past it then you might see half way into the game.

Wonderful music and really nice graphics,a challenging game that used all the Amiga 500 had to offer in 1989,but it's the tough last few levels that you most certainly will never see past,unless using a cheat/trainer on WinUAE.
