Platform game in the purest console style, with super-colorful graphics, good movements and devilish difficulty. And I say devilish, because it has something of the syndrome of the perfect pixel when it comes to squaring the jumps on the enemies, which greatly complicates the task. I don't know if the DOSBox cycles should be reduced, but it gives the impression that everything is going too fast (you should check the speed on an old computer).

We also do not know if music was lost on the path of preservation or not, but it is undoubtedly missed.

The game was created in 1996, from what we have been able to see in the files that compose it, so it can be seen that its creators found a commercial outlet five years later, at the hands of Hammer, that company that succeeded DDM.

Its author, Daniel Navarro, had already made his first steps with the PC version of Oberon 69 and Chess Housers, a game that also had two eras (in 1990 by the hand of Diabolic, and in 1993 with DDM, which gave graphics a facelift).

@PatMorita told us on Twitter that this game was one of the games that came as an example with the DIV2 Game Studio, a programming language for creating games created by Hammer, and which had great success, both with its first and second versions at the end of the last century and the beginning of this.
