A Spectrum adaptation of a Flash online game shows a style of game not seen in the classic Spectrum era.
This game's appeal palls too quickly to be worth loading from a tape - it was designed for an era where short attention spans rule.
And as my attention span can be short when working this game is a good excuse to play Speccy during a coffee break. It is a quick fix game with a cool vibe. It is great that coders still make stuff like this for the Speccy.
Collect the grey squares, avoid the black ones as the criss cross the screen. Collect bonuses. Avoid negatives. That's about it. Sounds naff but it has its time and place.
