GameplayA typical horizontal shoot-’em-up, rare on Spectrum. A decent shooter, though not very diverse. The ship has too much inertia, making it hard to hit moving enemies. Only three shots at once, and they don’t reach screen edge — probably engine limitations. Overall normal, but just short of being truly good.

GraphicsSimple but neat sprites. Little color, unimpressive framerate — again, engine legacy. The endless space could be livelier, but there’s a colorful intro, always a plus.
5
SoundSound is good: nice tunes in menu and gameplay, AY gunfire sounds worthy. Probably the strongest part of the game.

GameplayCan you only have 3 bullets on screen at anytime? If so, the instructions would tell you. It's hard to get anywhere as the bullets stop firing even though you are pressing the fire button! It's a bit sluggish and, sorry, a bit boring.

GraphicsGood loading screen — demon thingy on the left looks very scary! Intro static graphics not as good quality as Ld scr. Different artist? In game graphics are a bit small and barely animated. I have no idea what I'm firing at. Look like mice in balls. Plus,

SoundNice intro tune. In game sound fx sufficient.

GameplayUnfortunately the game is held back by being a little slow and unresponsive and the enemies all feel very similar.
