Pixel Painter's last game, released on CD-ROM, is an ingenious platform game that sports many creative features that always set Pixel Painters' games apart from other shareware developers.
In this case, the familiar trappings of a platform game (i.e. neat weapons, lots of enemies) are present, but instead of a typical end-level boss as in other games, here you must find an "X" mark to dig to the next level. Smooth animations and cool power-ups (e.g. jetpacks that allow you to fly) wrap up this forgotten underdog and a fitting masterpiece to Pixel's short career.

Awesome game that I had as a child and then somehow completed once many years ago as teenager, and then never again as an adult. Gets very difficult in the 3rd environment, enemies pop up from everywhere. IMO a second new power gun would have made sense in a game like this. Still great, highly recommended.
I had this game in a CD colection and I played a lot this game, even I never got the game to save status.
Now I was trying to play it with DOS-BOX, but I don't get the joystick/pad to work. Seems the axis is altered so UP-DOWN moves left and right and LEFT-RIGHT moves up and down (?)
No comment nor review for this game at the moment.
