When I first played the game I remember the awkward controls and was tempted to stop playing and throw it away.
The graphics were superb and the music great.

Once I got my first upgrades the controls were so much easier and this opened up a stunning and intense shooter. The graphics were superb and the music great.
The main aim of the game is to collect coloured drops with your pet cat to change the colour of each of the 8 levels. Playing 3 levels at a time allowed you to mix the colours to fill your cauldron. All this had to be done while shooting and avoiding various baddies.
You start each level shooting baddies and powering up to get your cat, once you have your cat in tow, enemies you kill drop paint droplets which you must use your cat (in his own ball) to collect. Once you have enough of one colour, you are whisked off to wiz’s castle to mix the colour and this is added to the level, once colour is restored to the whole level more levels are opened. However things get more complex as certain colours can only be found on previous levels and you need to go back to collect these.
The graphics are large and clear considering how long ago this game was made and a special mention must go to Martin Galway’s music which is superb, it has not one but three of the best tunes ever on the c64. Please check this game out!
