Review:

The large overlay area at the top of the screen allows for a widescreen play area. Backed up with excellent, mainly monochrome, graphics, this is an entertaining arcade adventure that moves at a decent speed.

Like many games of the time, it does suffer from concentrating too much on the number of screens available, rather than actually what happens on each one. Despite this, it is an excellent example of the sort of game that the Spectrum excelled at.
