Reception

IGN gave the game a score of 6 out of 10 stating, "The game is exactly the same as the last version with slight changes in the sprite animations which means, it's not all that bad. It's just disappointing to see that Acclaim is green-lighting the technique of duplicating existing games for "new" titles."[5]

The Journal Times gave the game a score of 4 out of 5, stating, "It is simple to follow, and the step-by-step thinking process is good for girls ages 8 and older. I don't think boys will get it."[6]

The game appeared on PC Data list of Top-Selling Game Boy games.[7]
