One of the many Manic Miner inspired games on the ZX Spectrum and games like this made you so much thankful that you got yourself the original.

This is a classic example of "inferior" and "budget" Miner. The movement is far from smooth compared to Manic Miner and the jumping is very awkward, so it's funny when the first screen reads "This one is easy"...yes it would be if the jumping was better thank you very much!

By in hindsight I suppose you got what you paid for at 99 pence and I suppose this was worth every penny you spent. But I'm sure there are better Manic Miner clones on the Spectrum than this one, this doesn't really do it for me I'm afraid.

It looks like it has been written in compiled Basic, lol, not sure...
It's not bad, but there are lots of better similar games around in 100% code machine.

With a bit more work and a bit more faith this game could have been charming but , at the end , it only manages to become a proto-sequel -excuse the word- of legendary Manic Miner .

The colors are ok , the screens are charming , the plot is ok , but movility is messy and that only spoils all the fun .

Still worth a try if you like vintage platformers , there is a cool and vintage flavour into Antteroo .

By the way : is our character supposed to be an ant ? ?

2,5 out of 5 .

Not a dreadful Manic Miner game but still pretty bad. The jumping is horrendous which makes the game more down to luck than skill. As sure in six attempts I only got to the second screen. I appreciate it's more my fault than anything but it's still worth highlighting that this is not a good game by any stretch of the imagination.
