A good platform game from psygnosis featuring colourful gfx smooth scrolling and enjoyable if unoriginal gameplay.
Actually the only original feature was the character bring able to stick to the walls. 7/10

A platformer that is often overlooked in the Psygnosis catalogue, but actually it's a very solid game. The main character is very quick to move, although jumping from an angled slope can take some getting your head around. It never quite becomes second nature - the mechanic works in the world but not in your head! A fun game once you figure out how to take out the enemies, and not horrendously difficult like most Amiga platformers - I finished the first world on the first try!

An original, fun and technically pleasing game. It should be considered one of the best Amiga-exclusive platformers (8/10).

I have just played this for the first time I can say it was just amazing. Each level had its own tune each was equally great, some reminiscent of C64 - SID sounding tunes is always a bonus. The level design was awesome and was very addictive. I will be going back to this again soon! Reminded me of Fuzzball which is also one of my favourites.

The package looks great. And I really liked the game.
But I played it only on few occasions, since they forgot the HD Installer.
I quite don't remember right if it was possible to order a HD-Installable Version like with "Death or Glory" ... But it was a shame nonetheless for not including a HD installable Version!!! And once again: Shame on you Psygnosis for cutting the HighEnd Amiga Market by doing so!
Anyway ... If you are into platform games and don't know this game GO AHEAD AND PLAY IT IMMEDIATELY because chances are high that you won't know anything quite like it on any platform. Could be rereleased today for e.g. IOS or Android and not many would notice it true origins but only see it's a near perfect "alternative" platformer.

I tried for a little while and it was terribly ok.

Nice concept with a cute main character. Takes a bit of practicing to get used to, I found - that little guy will try to get out of your control (and with me, he succeeds often)!
Some levels are better designed and better presented than others. They vary in quality quite a lot in the way of graphics, music, and general playability. Once you've played a level, you can return to it whenever you like, and the password system is pretty intense. I personally tend to pick out "favourite" levels, which I will return to again and again for no particular reason.
A little different to most Amiga platformers, frustrating at times, but all in all thoroughly enjoyable. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I recommend you give it a go.

Elend, I think you played only first one or two worlds. The game degrades then rapidly, believe me. While it is really nice and fun to play in the caves, it is real pain later in garden or in the house. Sad but true.

This game is really cool. Great graphics and nie gameplay elements due to the fact that you are a weird kind of blob thingie. I had a lot of fun with it.

Come on! I played this one a couple of days back after.. Oh 9 or 10 years and it was fun! There are so many worst games than this one in the "platform" genre .. Aren't they?

Yea, the cracked copy I got hold of a few years ago (long after the game was on sale) failed after the first world (which I completed in about an hour,a dn I'm usually crap at platform games), and I haven't downloaded it for WinUAE yet. Doesn't sound like I'm missing much later in teh game though, whcih is a pity.

I really don't think this game was that bad from the comments made out to be, there were worse platform type games on the market at the sametime remember. This had some nice GFX, decent enough sound and yeah its a platform game with not much to shout about but was OK to play though

A horrible game with nasty controls and clashing graphics. A sad, sad day for Amiga Gaming.

This is a strange game! You seem to be a blobby peace of spit (or something) and you jump from one wall to another making a spitting sound and picking up items along the way. Graphics are very nice indeed and the sounds are funny, while the music started to irritate me after a while. Nice idea, but I started to loose interest after a while.
Graphics: 8/10
Sound: 6/10
Playability: 6/10
Overall: 6/10

I have bought an original of this game, because my Crystal cracked version failed very often. I love it. It is very cute and the main character is lovable. But some of the later levels (garden. Toystore..) are a bad dream for me. They have a bad graphics and very bad design. I was very disappointed as I reached them, because first half of the game is amazing. And the story is incredible: the main task is to realize the Globdule´s desire "to become a toy"!
