This is, let me first off state, one of the most nostaligc and inspired/inspiring games ever. And this is not just in the click world... I honestly feel that this is such a great game that I dedicated possibly more than 5 hours of my life to playing this... and I'm only 1/4 way through! The graphics are incredibly detailed in the old-school style, with an original and bedroom-coded look that makes even the laziest clickers want to get up off their arses and try to amke a game.

The coding is phenomanal. The engine is completely bugless and the swimming engine is something that is yet to be matched. Each of the levels boast new designs, original characters and the whole game also has a huge atmospheric feel.

Level wise, their not only huge, but there are so many of them you'll be playing forever. Once you reach the moon and fly in the rocket, it just shows how far Rohan went to devloping a game that doesn't like repetition.

The music is shocking brilliant and catures the whole flavor of the game, from beautifully written melodys to dark, ambient songs. But without a doubt they must be some of the best since the music makes you feel as if your playing an old-school game, unmatched to date.

The hardness of the game is brilliant... it's taxing which makes you on one hand want to rip out your hair in anger, but at the same time you'll never give up until it's done. Not many games have this ability to cature peoples needs to keep playing, and so is amazing.

Rohan himself is a great, friendly and modest guy, who hasn't let the fame of this game get to him, nor has he turned his backs on fans. His website used to feature a hand-coded forum, aswell as cgi powered ratings systems which means he has mastered the web-coding sideof the net too.

An absolute must, without a doubt.
