Quite a challenging maze/puzzle game that I had in my collection as a kid. Here you control a ball in order to collect different types of squares as seen on the top of the screen.

The first level is fairly simple as you just need to move around the grid and collect what's there, but from level two onwards much thinking is needed to progress as there's some baddies to avoid and some jumping that needs to be done in order to reach certain platforms, and the jumping at times is a bit iffy which is frustrating as you may fall off the platform whilst trying to jump and thus you lose a life and all the squares you collected up to that point.

On top of that there is a time limit to go by and you must complete the level within the time limit but there are power-up squares including a clock square that freezes time and help you along the way. There's also mystery squares lurking around, these either give you extra points, an extra life, or they can kill you, so take caution hitting one of these.

It's no doubt a challenging game that'll provides lots of thinking to progress through all 20 levels. The inaccurate jumping though will prove frustrating which spoils the game a bit, but it's worth a look if you haven't done so.

This only seems to work with a joystick as the keys don't work for me. Even then this isn't worth playing at all. The jumping that your ball is supposed to do doesn't work half the time and it just keeps going and falls off. First level was simple enough but after that the game turns into a maze rather than a puzzle game and a confusing one at that. Definitely was not amused with this in the slightest.
