The title theme by Mike Clarke is 7:14 minutes long and the first 1:56 have a nice energy to them. The music made me feel excited to try the game. The title screen feels reminiscent of the artwork in The Chaos Engine.

Bit of a poor man's cannon fodder and i thought it could've looked better and had less fiddly and confusing controls. But hey if you've played CF to death and want something similar but slightly different then this might fit the bill. 6/10

Third screenshot down is me aged 19. I don't remember that at all. That's hilarious! The game has its fun moments. The control can be a bit awkward, but I enjoyed it. And it was indeed developed with no knowledge of Cannon Fodder.

Really dull looking graphics and overtly inspired by Cannon Fodder (though if I remember correctly, the makers claimed they'd been developing the game from way before Cannon Fodder was released?!?). Still, I remember having some fun with it actually. Some of the later levels of Cannon Fodder frustrated me so much that I'd put this on instead as "therapy".

A cheap and boring CANNON FODDER rip-off.

I want to be "Cannon Fodder" but I just can't! Oh how miserable I am...etc etc and the final verdict is .. Yes this game stinks!

I hadn't played it that much, but that's because it was a disappointment. It was basically the Psygnosis version of "Canon Fodder", and although I had always been partial to Psygnosis (class and stylish games), it wasn't as fun or as pretty. Maybe I just missed the point...
