Escape From Perilous

This game appears to be the Mark 2 version of English Software's Time Warp. The idea is to guide a little man around the screen to pick up four treasures, whilst avoiding the 'demons' that follow you.

The man is more detailed, the background better planned, but still the game lacks something.

You can walk for screens without seeing anything, and the two monster types are easily avoided. There are three levels to go through.

Somehow I found my way out of the gardens into the caverns, but there was still a lack of activity - perhaps the monsters were on a lunch break?

An idea that needs developing considerably before it will provide a good game.
