An original and amusing variation on conventional shooting games. Instead of aliens dropping from space, cartoon shapes move across while a fairground tune plays.

You control a base at the foot of the screen and have a limited supply of bullets with which to hit all the target shapes which move to and fro. Hitting certain numbered targets gives extra bullets, and it is also possible to gain bonus points by spelling out the game title from letter targets hit in the correct order.

Purple faces called Smileys hop about at the top of the screen, and will sometimes drop down and steal vital bullets. However, it is possible to shoot them in the act for more points.

There are five stages of difficulty, with a bonus stage between each in which the object is to hit a golliwog figure and prevent it from reaching the edge.

Graphics and sound are used very well, but the sound can be irritating after a while. It is possible to reduce it slightly at the cost of a bullet.

Anyone looking for an amusing and slightly different arcade style game need go no further.
