GameplayA wonderful puzzle — one of those games that proves the AGD engine can be used not only for endless platformers. The idea is interesting: you must lure enemies into traps using the fact that they move as a mirror image of the main hero. Early levels are simple, but the further you go, the harder and more engaging it becomes!

GraphicsVery nice use of colors and well-drawn sprites. A blue field on a black background, framed in yellow — it all looks very good on the Spectrum. Characters move by cells, but for a puzzle that’s more than enough. Beautiful overall!
8
SoundA pleasant medieval tune plays during the game — unfortunately too short. Some variety would help, but even this one track manages not to get boring quickly. Other sounds are on the beeper — simple but functional.

GameplayA real headache inducer. Very clever idea and well implemented. Addictive, makes you want to try 'just once more', turning into more and more goes. Levels are cleverly designed, make you think before making a move.

GraphicsOkay loading screen — looks digitised though. In game graphics are lovely & well coloured. Simple but effective animation.

SoundNice title tune — sounds very medieval. In game tunes are super and suit the game well.
