Oh dear God, what have I done you punish me with this game?
The Good
Nothing.
The Bad
Everything. The graphics are crappy and coloured like the art department was on LSD, the sound is better not to be heared since it could damage your hearing, your speakers or even both.
The biggest problem is the absolute nonsense gameplay. You drive a weird-coloured tank through weird-coloured labyrinths, searching for a key which is, as the one-page manual states "randomly located on each level". There are enemies which try to stop you doing so - they want to shoot your tank. On the way searching the key, you'll find some gems which give you back some of your lost energy/firepower, whatever you choose.
Sounds like fun? I'll laugh later. The tank maneuvers like its chains are in the air, it floats :) The opponents are floating too (ok, they are small space ships), and their animations are absolute crap. The gun... did I mention that the TANK has RAPID FIRE? Yeah, you can fire the tank's gun repeatedly like a machine gun - but it's looking like a laser beam or something :) There are "bombs" which can be thrown, but they simply have no real impact on the enemies.
But why should I bother with this game? The controls suck, the graphics are EVIL and well, the game simply has lasting appeal. Heck, it's got no appeal at all :(
The Bottom Line
You come (into the store), you see (the game), you run (like a madman).
