A really fun, futuristic platform adventure, let down by some sluggish controls and annoying trial and error. I've always been a fan of the game, but previously had only ever played the Megadrive version. It was nice to play the Amiga one, although from what I remember, it is not too dissimilar.

I remember being astonished by the incredible graphics back in the early 90s, and to be fair, they still look great today. Although the controls are a bit clunky, the character movement still looks as good as ever, the little cut scenes are great, with one for nearly every type of death you encounter.

Some of the set pieces are a lot of fun, but some require pinpoint precision, which is a fucking pain when the controls are as cumbersome as they are.

I would've probably given up if I hadn't have been able to save scum my way through, but even then, I still enjoyed it and it was fun to see it through to the end. My 8 year old self would be jealous.

This game is HARD. I've beaten it exactly one time, and that was not without endless frustration. There are very few hints as to where to go and what to do, so a lot of it is trial-and-error gameplay. Despite that, however, it's an inventive experience with an interesting visual style and some neat world building as you traverse the alien planet. And if you want to put a positive spin on things, it challenges you to really consider your environment and think about solutions to problems that are not straightforward. It may be more difficult than it is good, but I appreciate what the game wanted to do.
