Reception

Amstrad Computer User praised the game, calling it "a good enjoyable blast with some amazingly smooth and fast graphics, and enough plot to keep you occupied but not snowed under with complexity".[2]

Amstrad Action complimented the "stunning vector graphics" but bemoaned the "pitiful lack of helpful instructions", while deriding it for having "very little relevance to its origin" and being "basically just a shoot-em-up".[3]
