game! It is evil! I keep dying horribly in the fifth level, and I vow to never play it again, but I fish it out of the Trash and play it just the same... This time I mean it! I won't play it anymore! After this, I won't play it anymore! Yeah...

game and discovered that the best levels were the demo ones; the latter levels degenerate into low quality graphics and repetitive unoriginality. Furthermore, after defeating the game - which is not that difficult - the game loses its value because there is no way to increase difficulty. A disappointment, even for shareware.
