1989 MicroHobby (Spain)
by David Calandra
A simple, but fun addictive arcade game, reminiscent of the early Ultimate games. The graphics in general are cute and the game is as simple as it can be. You play the role of a tile mason setter, employed by the owner of a large, 30 rooms mansion. Your job is to change every tile in each room within the given time. For that just touch each of the tile rectangles and run to the exit when you are finished.
There are a few objects you can use. For example, the broom cleans every nasty around for a few seconds, and in the center of the door different letters appear, meaning different uses, for instance, T means more time, just walk to the door and press fire, and time will be added, the M means a secret two-door passageway will be revealed, letting you go across the rooms underground without being harmed. More nasties, objects and letters will appear while you progress, making the game full of surprises (I only played to level 5).
The big problem is with the keys which are not very responsive at all and only one can be pressed at once, that definitely spoils the game a lot and for 1989 I can't give it more than a 2.
