Moving around a strange landscape of floors connected by different lengths of ladders are your alien adversaries, cunningly disguised as vicious Granny Smiths. To dispose of these rotten apples you must first dig a hole for them to fall into, and then quickly batter them to death.

If they climb out before you get to them, they change colour, and you then have to arrange for them to fall through two or more holes before they die.

As you progress from level to level their number increase and some really tough characters join the fray too.

This is a competent, colourful variation on an unoriginal theme. Hardly a game for the pacifists among us, but jolly good fun all the same. I'll still enjoy playing it a year from now.
