I have to admit that I don't really like this game at all. It isn't that it doesn't play very well nor that it is badly written. It just seems so pointless.

There is little doubt that it is a ladder and level clone without the ladders. The aim is to find a path from chamber to chamber by running and jumping from block to block. As such I suppose that there is an audience for such games but I tend to find that they are much of a muchness.

What makes this game different is that you actually control a mutant explorer who changes from one form to another when night turn to day and vice versa. Unfortunately that is all that changes. The game gets no harder nor easier.

There are the usual statutory nasties to make life harder but these don't kill you they simply drain your energy. This means that you can risk touching one if it is to your advantage.

The controls are rather difficult. There are times when Lee Lance, your persona, seems to be hanging in mid-air without any possible means of support and others where the path is blocked for no real reason. Another couple of niggles are that the joystick option doesn't appear to work and that the instructions are rather less than helpful. As I said earlier, a playable game but rather pointless.
