Shuttle Shock

What a shock! A platform game with a difference. The difference is angular teleporting. To move up, you don't jump, you teleport in an upward diagonal line. With a bit of skill, you end up on a platform and not in mid-air.

Then there are the lifts which either drop you down safely, or shoot you sideways. They make moving about the screens great fun.

Apart from that, the screens and nasties are in the Manic Miner genre and are really very good. Solving them is challenging and fun. The only drawback is there are just ten screens and it may not take more than a week or two to get through them all.

Verdict: Lemme 'ave another go.
