"Superb Marble Madness inspired game that was one of the highest rated games back in the day. Very tough with some devious puzzles. Holds up to this day due to its simplicity." - khisanth

"An awesome game, but extremely difficult. One of the top games ever created." - Briggsy

"I think Spindizzy is one of the great games of all time, not just of the cpc era. So beautifully planned and presented, with just the right level of frustration to keep you playing. I agree with Malc about that distracting time limit - but use the poke to turn it off and you have the perfect game!" - Spirotek
