Title
The arcade game is good platforming fun, you collect bombs by jumping high and avoiding monsters. Incredibly tough in later levels when the monsters spawn and respawn way too fast, with some quirky real-life scenery in the background. Japanese have a boner for this sort of thing... The jumping mehcanic is a double edged-sword, and mastering its controls and navigation is essential for the experience. One of the theme songs also borrows from The Beatles' Lady Madonna, if not flatly rips it off.

The SG-1000 port is downgraded graphically, but is surprisingly functional. A misfortune is that due to smaller screen space, the level layouts are more cluttered with enemies, which the devs tried to balance out by giving out power-ups more openly. (2.0)
