We have a deceptively hard teaser here, centred around a spider's web. Being a remarkably small owl you find it easy to run along the strands of silk, eliminating them as you go, until the whole web is destroyed. But you can fly from one section to another should there be no connecting thread left intact. Why should you do this? 'Cos the spider has nicked your diamonds and keeps one on display slap-bang in the middle of his silken net - unravelling it is the only way to retrieve the jewels.

The spider, unfortunately, does tend to make running repairs; that could well be a sign of faulty tactics on my part. I managed to succeed and flew off with one diamond; plenty more left, as always, with two spiders to contend with later in the game.

The last thread to be removed must be a central one otherwise there is just a spectacular structural collapse but no gemstone.

Plenty of options to mull over: speed, starting level, unlimited flights (or just the total allowed for by the current screen), second spider, plus the ability to save the high score to tape. Fair sonics including flapping wings and a title theme with a couple of neat visual effects.
