Seems quite nice to boot, this one.
However, up and down movements on the first screen (are there more?) spoil the fun tremendously.
It feels like the rabbit is unwilling to go up or down. You have to be in the pixel perfect spot to move.
Very annoying and thus only a poor rating from me.

Hey ! What a nice discovery this was !
This is the sort of games that made me love the Spectrum back in the 80s .
Harry Hare´s Lair has it all to appeal to me as a player ... and it is also a queer game too , that´s an extra-plus . :)
Colorful and charming . The movements aren´t very responsive , though . :(
Overall , a very nice quarter of an hour if you are in the mood . Never get further than level 2 , though . :(
4,5 out of 5 .
ps - in response to zx128 complaint ,,, if you keep the up/down bottom pressed the hare will obbey without hesitation . it´s my advice in case you care . ;)

This is a fairly good action game. Following the Pac-man tradition, you dwell on a maze infested with garden creatures and while avoiding them you must collect all the turnips (or carrots, I cant tell).
The graphics are cute, and the animation is quite good, specialy Harry. It as some nice sound fxs and a cute tune typical in games between 1983-85.
I only got to level 3, where you return to the garden (level 1) but with more and different creatures. The cave (level 2) in the other hand is a bit of a change with creatures falling from the cave's ceiling. Its also a lot easier than what expects you next.
I think this is a pretty good game, once you master the up and down movements. And the best thing to do this is pressing those keys while moving left and right.
