Back in the land of
arcade adventure, you control
Robin-Banks, an interplanetary
alien zapper who's been
sucked down the plughole into
Professor Brainstorm's castle.
You can escape by walking, or
using your jetpack, through a
650 screen maze where you
collect keys and special
weapons to do away with the
eight guardians.
All fairly standard stuff,
though nicely done, as you'd
expect from the ever
improving Bubble Bus. There's
a nice touch too in the use of
momentum when steering
Robin, and loss of life results
in him flying around like a
burst balloon.
So far, so good, but either
I'm losing my touch or the
game is just too difficult. The
problem lies in the Clone's 28
varieties - that's almost half
as many as Heinz! - whose
ability to fill the airspace is
worse than jets at Heathrow.
Though they're easy to kill
there're so many, and they
replenish so often that it's
nearly impossible to avoid
them, even while shooting.
What I saw I liked but its sheer
difficulty eventually made me
lose interest.
