1984 C&VG Magazine (UK)
By Nigel Campbell
Now here is a BASIC written game with a very original idea and very well implemented.
The game is simple, guide the line thru the holes until you reach the end.
Besides the usual left, right, up, down keys you have a brake key also.
This means you completely control your falling line.
For a Basic game this was a surprise, no cute, funny graphics this time, only lines, but very challenging.

This is a surprise! This is actually really good, I spent quite a while on it and enjoyed it quite a lot. It's got nothing much to offer in terms of graphics but then it's not supposed to, it relies solely on the gameplay and it's got an original style that works really well. I've said it before that gameplay counts for everything, you can have the most gorgeous, colourful, spell-bounding graphics all you want, if your game plays like crap you will be considered crap, or you can have the most bog-standard graphics but play well enough I'l like you, and this doesn't do much in the graphics department but its unique gameplay certainly kept me interested and intrigued throughout. Very nice game and well deserving of its score.
