What players say

Such a nostalgic game, used to play it with my grandma back in the day when I was young. Pretty solid gameplay with cool mechanics. (Also the sound effects are fire).

Addictively frustrating and satisfying in equal measure. The games gets harder as you progress and that's when the chalenge to complete levels can be sometimes frustrating. But this is true for most games anyway. The soundtrack is superb also.
