Played for about 30 min to get to round 35, where I was already getting bored. I may have played this back in the day but it was a little before my time. For a while I thought letting the last enemy escape was a loss. The difficulty ramped up fairly quickly and I felt winning in the later rounds was more about luck than anything else. I save state scummed while trying out different moves. In general I found it best to dig a vertical shaft and kill enemies as they approached. Often victory came in seconds. Other times I had to make careful moves since the enemies were faster than my guy that far into the game. It was useful to dig another tunnel with a thin wall in between as he could attack through the thin wall and it seemed to confuse the enemies. The game was too simple to be very interesting though. Only 2 enemy types and the stages repeated after round 12.
Tough to rate since I didn't particularly enjoy it but I am sure it was good for its time.
6.0/10 I guess
