Description
This horizontally-scrolling shoot 'em up features six long levels, all with detailed and mellow background graphics, aiming for a less hectic feel than contemporaries such as
Project X. As a magician's apprentice, you have been turned into an owl to give you the best chance of destroying the many dark creatures to be faced, and thus discovering the secret of cosmic strength.
These dark creatures include piranhas, giant ants and mosquitoes. Extra weapons and invincibility periods can be collected. The technical details include 3 layers of multi-directional parallax scrolling, background animation, and different title and in-game music.

Trivia
Tim Wright composed two tunes for this game but
"title" tune was not used in its original version and
"high score" tune was not used at all.
When he sent the tune off for inclusion in the game,
Franck Sauer (from the development team) changed the piano samples in it for better ones. However, one of them was at the wrong octave. Wright did not find out about these changes until the game hit the shelves and as he states: "Maybe people like it but it always sounded wrong to me". He eventually released both unused
"high score" tune and the original version of
"title" tune on December 10, 2001. They can be downloaded from his
personal website (in one 7 MB big archive with all other tunes he created on Amiga) or from
Exotica.
