Great Puzzle. Pretty darn hard and trippy. Unfortunately, very rare in the UK(*****)

You're a beach ball ("WOW! That's so interesting" will be the phrase not on peoples' minds when they hear it), but you bounce and bound and roll around these Escher-esque structures miles in the sky ("What were they eating when the designed this?"). Despite being as wierdly- and wildly- constructed as it is, it is excessively addictive, mind-gripping (and brain-cell-melting). It really makes you think on how to do some of the later puzzles. And makes you angry and frustrated when you see the Ball plummet into the sky/ground/horizon/other-deathly-location. Some hypnotic force brings you back to the game. The properties of this game can make you dizzy, airsick, sweat, shiver or even queasy. The Lethargy Pill can tip you over the edge in more than one respect, and the Bonus Stages can induce seizuring....
Gameplay: 7 = Awesome, there are many thousands of ways in which to fail a stage, and select few to beat it. The Bonus Stages are psychodelic and well constructed, but then again... So is everything else.
Graphics: 8 = One of the first games to successfully incorporate a full 3-D graphic tech. They did a very good job, too
Sound: 4 = There aren't many sounds to build a score (at least it has a nice beat-bop beat during the PIRACY CONTRACT and the LOADING screens).
Value: 9 = It's playable again, and again, and again, and again.... And in my country, you'd be hard-put to see a single copy of this (I'd know, I searched 6 years for this, then had to settle for the lesser emu).
Reviewer's Tilt: 8 = No-one seems to disagree with me....
