This game brings back the characters from Mappy but it just isn't as effective. The problem is most likely that the player doesn't get any new weapons for each sequence of four levels. The levels don't get more confusing, and the main trick to get through them consists of a tricky way to more or less stand still. Plus the enemies move in fixed patterns. But it's a happy and cute little game for a bit, with 31 distinct levels that the player can continue through even if he loses all his lives, and it's worth playing through once without the later levels getting too frustrating. | This game brings back the characters from Mappy but it just isn't as effective.
