by Raffaele Cecco, Chris Hinsley, Nick Jones

You're a ball, for a change, precisely a sort of balloon, and as every respected balloon, you must
clean your environment of Radioactive Canisters using Disposal Chutes, and finding a Pass to reach the next level.
The problem is that these items are not readily available and to get hold of them you must solve some puzzles, using other objects you find scattered around - and, of course, shooting or avoiding various nasties.
In short, it's a colorful and unusual 2D arcade/adventure with flip-screens, and nice sound too, one of the first efforts of the renowned Raffaele Cecco, the first that sees his style emerging, after Cop-Out, who was a just coin op conversion, and not one of the better. He's helped by his partner of many games Nick Jones and by veteran Chris "Wally Week" Hinsley. Once you understand what you have to do, is very playable. As per usual with Cecco's games, the sound is good too. Quite appreciable.

4/5
