Anyone else tried this game yet? 

I finally managed to try it out on my trusty old 
A1200 and was pleasantly surprised. It it imho 
best described as "Ghost'n'Goblins with puzzles and 
boobies" as you guide the main character through the 
level saving the half-naked fairies. 

I have managed to complete the first level - which 
offered some nice challenges. First, there are number
of nymphettes you need to rescue to complete the level.
This is not an easy task as you need to perform the 
rescue operation by solving some rather interesting 
puzzles as well as fighting against the evil characters.  

To make things more interesting you need 
to find out the correct order to rescue the fairies. 
The level design is very strict about this. It is possible
to end up in a situation that you cannot save the last fairy
if you have chosen the wrong order. Finally there is a time
limit on a level which means you have to act quickly.   

The playability is on a acceptable level - the main character
reacts to joystick instantly, collision detection is almost 
perfect and puzzles and combat are challenging in a 
right way. 

The "icing of the cake" is the game graphics - they are 
really well drawn and animated (excluding the rather 
"stiff" animation of the main character). There are plenty 
of nice details you'll notice when progressing through the
level.

  Bye,
