Heh, the in-game music is great - would never of expected to hear Metallica on a Spectrum!

Wow, the game looks really good! There's some great foreboding music as well. It's quite tricky though - maybe I'm just bad at it but three lives don't seem like nearly enough. So here are some POKEs to make it easier:

Spoiler

Infinite lives: POKE 30969, 0
Infinite energy: POKE 59204, 0: POKE 59318, 0

Starting lives: POKE 30135, x
Starting energy: POKE 30993, x: POKE 30145, x

Very pretty but very hard, close to impossible.

Yes, I can go through a few screens but that's all.

Ooh this is good. Probably my favourite of the year so far. It's got John Blythe's usual delicious graphics and the permabounce makes it feel fresher than the usual platformer. I don't think it's a big game, might even be completable.

3 lives is a bit mean, but at least there are juice-ups and extra lives scattered around (I'll be using the # lives POKE tho ).

3 lives is a bit mean...

I take this back. 3 lives with extra pickups is spot on; a lot of thought has clearly gone into it. I just completed it on bread & water. Brilliant game.

[mention]Dethmunk[/mention] - did you intend this as a Oct 31st release but finish quicker than expected? Can we expect a Santa game on Halloween?!

I would swear blind that Metallica's 'Anaesthesia Pulling Teeth' was used by a popular Spectrum game.

What have I done to myself?!

I can't remember which game it was
