GameplayA very original though short adventure. Playing as a runaway nose that inhales/exhales smells to solve puzzles — unique! Atmospheric and unlike others. Multiple endings are another plus.
7
GraphicsNothing special, but some landscape elements are well drawn, and the white/gray/blue palette works magically. The game has an artistic style — already a big deal.
6
SoundMinimal beeper sound — functional, nothing more. A beeper tune plays in menu — okay but little. A calm AY track during gameplay would have fit perfectly.

GameplayToo crazy for my taste. It will appeal to some people but maybe I'm just too old.

GraphicsVery old-school. Some attribute issues. Reminded me of the very early days of the Spectrum.

SoundIt needed something during the game, with no music outside of the intro it just felt very empty and possibly affected the enjoyment.

GameplayAgain, not enough instructions. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing or why I keep getting 'arrested again' and sent back to the beginning. Didn't hold my interest for long.

GraphicsAnother one without a loading screen! - Phooey! In game graphics are ok but remind me a magazine type in listing, though movement is nice and smooth,

SoundYou only get the odd squelch!

GameplayThis is a fun concept, though it perhaps should have been called 'Runny Nose'. However, it's far too easy to get put back in the prison and this becomes frustrating very quickly.

GraphicsThe graphics are basic, but do the job.

SoundSound is quite limited and did not stand out to me much at all.
