The player guides Zippy, an X-shaped sprite, around a maze, viewed top-down, with solid walls, hazards and collectable rewards. The view of the maze scrolls randomly right, left, up or down. The object is for the player to survive for a period of time without making contact with either an edge of the playing area, represented as a brick walls, or hazards including water and spikes, all of which lose a life. If the player survives they receive a score bonus for completing the level and they proceed to the next level, which is a continuation of the maze, with less interval between scrolling steps and a shorter level duration. The first level lasts about two minutes, and by the seventh and final level this is down to about forty seconds. Points are awarded for collecting plums and clumps of grass, some of which are invisible. Completing a level of the game triggers a voice saying "Yippee!". On the ZX Spectrum release this was remarkable due to it overcoming the Spectrum's rudimentary sound capabilities. It was a very early use of digitized speech sound effects in home computer games.

(The reason I am posting so many reviews so fast [ sorry about that] is, I am finally going through my Notepad of written reviews that I wrote whenever I didn't have access to Internet, these go all the way back to 1/27 heh) Anyway, turns out there's 2 games mixed up in this one entry ha. There are 2 separate Splat! games -- one an action maze game with a spider, and one an action shooter game where you throw food items at each other :-p Time to clear things up and play the "right" game for my Backlog order ha <3
