Review:

This looks really colourful, with its distinctive red brickwork and fast moving sprites. The controls also work well, with your character moving in blocks actually being a bonus, as pixel perfect positioning is rarely needed.

It also has some nice sound effects, albeit familiar ones to anyone who has played the author's other games. One major downer is that it is punishingly difficult. The opening screen is not too bad, with you able to pause whilst going up or down and it does not have a time limit, which is a real relief for anyone wanting to explore later screens.
