You control a hand who must catch falling things. and then throw them back up to safety It's quite a strange concept. Maybe the only game whose main character is a hand.

Free Fall Instead Of Jump In This Fun, Unique Game

Look: 7/10 Great intro graphics and title screen.enter image description here

Also great colors/sprites, and good UI/font, but nothing particularly special. enter image description here

Sound: 6/10 Mostly just annoying, but not too bad.

Play: 7/10 Now this is more my style of microcomputer-capable action game :-p Pretty fun once you get the hang of clinging from one platform to the next heh. But wasn't worth much …

Play: 7/10 Now this is more my style of microcomputer-capable action game :-p Pretty fun once you get the hang of clinging from one platform to the next heh. But wasn't worth much more than a good 10 minutes of gameplay. And a good chunk of that was just figuring it out :-p

Feel: 7/10 Fun, and interesting to look at. One of the better Apple II action games (at this point, at least), and one of the better platforming games. Nothing too phenomenal, innovative, or special tho--as fun as it was. Too many other fast-paced, fun games!

Attachment: 6/10 While it's easy enough to move on, I did have quite a lot of fun playing it! Unlikely I will return, but worth a playtest or playthrough when in mood for early home action games. A unique play on a single-screen, uh, platformer, er, free faller
