Sound: 8/10 I love the sound when you beat the current rack. Sort of like with Robby Roto, the combination of the speeding-up "music" and the sound effects makes it sound like progressive electronic music or something ha

Play: 8/10 I love the inclusion of novice version for those of us who suck at videogames. I like how movement is on a grid, although that got frustrating sometimes due to the lack of diagonal movement. I really like this: simple, basically a mix between arcade shooter and Qix-type puzzle, and with a difficulty switcher.

Feel: 8/10 It gave me a bit of Qix vibes. Severely underrated imo

Attachment: 7/10 Whenever I return to the Golden Age of Arcade Games, this will certainly be on the list! I had a lot of fun playing it, though I can't claim it's a new favorite or a frequent go-to like I think Robby Roto will be.
