Player Reviews
Average score: 3.3 out of 5 (based on 8 ratings with 1 reviews)
The Good
The game was simple enough....a soccer-type game, set on the "grid", and played with robotic "rotofoils" . The music, based on some sort of fractal equation, was incredible (I can still hear it today, and I haven't played in 15 years). Large numbers of robot competition made it a challenge, even as I got progressively better
The Bad
This was my first game with split-screen graphics. That, coupled with the "rotosnap" (the rotofoil snaps 90 degrees to follow the ball, or, if the player has the ball, to face their goal line) made things a bit disorienting at first. The scoring system was a bit confusing as well. However, both of these could be overcome simply by familiarizing yourself with the game
The Bottom Line
Enjoyable.....worth playing
