An enduringly popular piece of plagiarism, this game is either better or worse than its inspiration Atic Atac.
For me its worse. The problems set are fiddly and obscure. It feels more cramped to move around in than Atic Atac.
And I hated seeing a programmer with such obvious talents being so blatantly unoriginal.

Steve Crow's homage to 'Atic Atac' has aged surprisingly well. The graphics and sound are better than Ultimate's game and it remains challenging with just enough variety in the rooms and floors to keep it interesting. The only real negative is the "keys" system for opening doors which can leave inexperienced players trapped.

An above average Atic Atac clone but with a pace so fast that you can hardly think ... !!!

Lovely graphics, lovely sound, plays well. Too hard perhaps? Too fast maybe? I agree the key system is a pig.. even for experienced players.

I've played this more than Atic Atac.

About as blatant a rip off as you could get. I don't think it plays quite as well as Atic Atac though.

Excellent and shameless rip off of Atic Atac, probably its best clone. Delightful graphically and sonically, smooth and fast,
with myriads of secret passages and more or less useful objects, and plenty of tiny enemies swarming everywhere, well drawn and animated.
I don't care if it so derivative, it's a very good derivation.
4/5

It's not bad but if you've played Atic Atac then it's not very original.

I'm so glad to hear again about excellent classics like Alien 8 and Firelord.
In fact the programmer of the latter created this forgotten gem. A more than correct arcade adventure with a style close (to say the least) to Atic Atac
