How it feels

A classic arcade-style romp where you frantically dodge enemies and mines while scooping up shiny crystals.

What players say

Players say this is a spot-on 1980s Mac port but the developer abandoned it, leaving achievements broken and some bugs unfixed. Nearly all reviewers came for nostalgia, and while the gameplay holds up as a fast, difficult arcade challenge, many warn the brief trip is not worth the price.
