I like Jonathan Cauldwell's games a lot, but unfortunately this one is probably my least favourite of all of them.

The game combines good old platform jumping with plenty of mental arithmetic. An interesting combination of ideas to say the least, with smooth animation and good use of bright/non-bright blocks for shading but not a great deal in the way of sound.

However, I found that I spent too much time waiting for the right combination of truck carts to appear and they would often be stuck too close to walls for me to get behind them to nudge them into position which tends to reduce the urge to try again. When that urge does decide to take me again, I'll see if I can ever get past level 4...

Worth a go if you like platform games and are up for a challenge but if you've not seen one of JC's Egghead or Izzy games then you might want to try those first.

[EDIT: After many attempts, I gave up on level 4 and instead worked out an infinite time POKE - see The TipShop for details. After level 4, things get much easier again!]
