Review by The Dean of Games on 28 Mar 2019 (Rating: 4)

1992 Code Masters (UK)
by R. Fred Williams, Peter Ranson, Chris Graham and Allister Brimble

A multicolored game with a wide variety of beautifully designed graphics and backgrounds. Code Masters became probably the best software house in the later years of the Spectrum, and games such as this one show how good and innovative they were becoming. The game itself as is bit of a challenge, because it's comprised of 50 levels so be ready to spent a lot of hours playing it. You play with two characters Grell the dwarf and Fella the fairy, alternating between both, and keeping one safe while using the other. They both have different characteristic which help move forward, and should to be mastered to avoid losing life's unnecessary, unless you just want to enjoy a walk in the park, I mean garden, which by the way could be a great way of playing this game, due to the colorful scenery available. The game plays like your ordinary side scrolling platform type of game, and it's very easy to get into it. I'm not sure I understand the full object of the game, it just seems a platformer, but there are other features which I'm not familiarize with yet, like the shop, or using some objects to different purposes, but so far I had a good time with the arcade part of it.
