Not a bad Dizzy clone (On Speccy) but not outstanding and not as good as the Dizzy games. This looks like the other Ian Gray ports which appear to be a frame around a emulated version of the original game. I could be wrong but I am sure some of Ians ports have colour clash as well. Not sure what YS and others were raving about TBH. Got a lot of 90s in Speccy mags as did the other one.

I found this to be challenging and worth a few hours of entertainment. 7/10

Well, at least the GFX are 100% speccy port (hence the additional border - speccy has 256 pixel width).

Gray tries to repeat its concept ad libitum (comix characters with comics dialogues sometime, monochrome fashion), but this is one of the weakest. Too boring and repetitive. Maybe is better than Spooked but Dizzy and Murray Mouse are beyond reach.

Absolutely terrible game. The collision detection is unbelievably bad making the game nothing more than frustrating. Definitely one to avoid.

Nice game for all those Codemasters games fans. But... Puzzles here are just too simple. Well, it's not Dizzy, but there's something slightly magic about this game;) 6/10

I love these kinds of graphics. They look so nice and clean. Very crisp. Reminds me of Spectrum graphics or something.

This is a truly dire version of the Codemasters platform game. One-colour graphics, slow bug-ridden gameplay which renders the whole thing almost unplayable.
