Overview
This is an over-head, multi-directional, push-scrolling shooter. You control a little girl witch and try to … actually, I’ve no idea what the story, but it doesn’t really matter. There are many things to shoot and you have three (selectable at any time) weapons that can each be powered up. There are end-of-level bosses and a few multiple routes.
Comment
The game-play is fast, the scrolling is smooth, the shooting is frequent. The tunes are some of the best the Megadrive has to offer, and will instantly feel familiar to those with a trained ear.
The difficulty curve is well pitched, it initially feels tough but one is able to improve quickly and repeated plays help tremendously. I was able to procure a copy (without instructions) for a reasonable price and it has been an absolute joy to play, making it (probably) my favourite recent discovery on the Megadrive.
