9/10

britnostalgic says

"A great arcade conversion... look past the bad use of colour and you'll find one of the best shoot-em-ups on the CPC. The Speccy version gets a ten out of ten as it captures the speed of the arcade machine better. Fantastic stuff, and one I think i've completed. "

5/10

"Not a bad arcade conversion - lacks some decent speed and that extra grunt you get from awesome firepower.... "

8/10

Gryzor says

"Ahhh this is dangerously cute and highly addictive! Great, cutesy graphics (mode 1 palette) and hard gameplay that you won`t put down for hours! Definately one of the best shooters on the CPC!"
