Maze game in reverse, meaning that you have to touch the moving entities in the location and avoid the still items. Which is not even entirely true, because there are even moving dangers, here and there, as spiders, bees and other insects. So this review already doesn't make any sense. But I'll go on anyway. You are this guy, which I thought was an elder woman, and you have to catch all the butterflies fluttering about the maze of this big garden, and absolutely avoiding to step on the flowers and hedges because if you do YOU'RE DEAD. It used to happen the same when I was a kid playing football in the yard if I'd hit vases and flowers belonging to the toothless old lady living by. Furthermore, you have to be careful not to fall and drown in 2 inches deep ponds and brooks. You have to complete your mission in exactly four minutes or you'll fail. The game is fairly playable, the graphics acceptable, the background is the usual Speccy tar black environment, but the vegetation is quite colourful, and the animation smooth, and there's a quite enjoyable use of the beeper. I didn't dislike the game, maybe because it was specifically conceveid for people of my age [the spot on comment on the archive is "5-8 year olds"].
3/5

Yes, even Paddington Beat had his own Speccy game and well it's pretty crap. The idea is simple enough, you got around collecting butterflies to score points and avoid hedgehogs and wasps, but moving Paddington around isn't so fun, His sprite constantly flickers which was offputting and he has a problem getting through tight gaps which again was offputting especially when I was convinced I was getting through and his hat caught the edge and I lost a life. And this game was marketed to children namely 5-8 years old, can't see them having fun with this at all frankly.
