This game was originally released in the arcades in 2002 but never received a conversion until now. Made by the same team behind Mr Driller, it's a puzzle game where you hop between planets, a string trailing behind you that links each planet together. The aim is to form a triangle around any three planets in order to rescue the space creatures floating in the middle. Like Mr Driller you'll need to top up your oxygen to stay alive, though this only really matters on the harder levels.
The challenge is in knowing when to jump from the planets. Your character is constantly orbiting the planet and you just control when he leaves orbit. Get the timing wrong and he'll fly off at the wrong trajectory - landing on a different planet if you're lucky or flying off into space if you're not.
I've never played the coin-op but from what little I know this is a great conversion. The whole game is crisp, bright and colourful and the touch controls (just tap once to jump off a planet) work ideally. The price is a bit steep at ?5.99 but I'm so chuffed this has finally been ported and is actually fun that I don't really care.
