I had a lot of fun with this game, the combat, and level design are really well put together. It's obvious the team behind it are old school shooter fans that know their craft. There's no frills, you're dropped in with a weapon, you kill everything that moves while searching for the exit. You can find secrets that give you points to upgrade your weapons and health/magic between levels. Then, every world has a boss, which basically amounts to a giant enemy with really high HP. The game does include limited lives as a mechanic, but I honestly never had to worry about it. The few times I did die I never got close to game over. The game is tough in combat, but also generous with pickups so it was never an issue. The level layouts are similar to the more maze-like levels from Doom, also very flat. The main draw backs I had were that the bosses could be a little disappointing. You basically circle strafe until you run out of ammo, find more, then circle strafe more. The secrets can often be a little frustrating. For example some hidden walls have to be shot at, but there's is no indication of which ones, so I ended up just shooting randomly all over the place. lastly, that the game didn't give me much incentive to replay after I was finished. I had basically seen everything at the end. Not to say that I didn't really enjoy getting there. Overall though if you like Boomer Shooters then this game is a bargain, and if you can get it in a sale like I did, then it's an absolute steal.
I remember playing this on my Uncle's Amiga back in the 90's, it was a real highlight. It's a really intuitive and fun puzzle game. You have to find a way to arrange the dominoes, so that with one push you can knock them all down, with a special block that has to go last. There are a few varieties of blocks, ones that bridge gaps, ones that float straight up, ones that make holes in the ground, and more. The game times you, and you need to complete the puzzle before the time runs out, but don't worry if you need to think, you can over run and then restart the level with no penalty. The only gripe I had is that I can't find a way to skip the opening cutscene, which seems to just be a commercial for Quavers. Other than that, a solid blast from the past.
