Reception

David Stone reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "since {{sic|it's}} play-value is not derived from solving riddles and puzzles, but rather from maneuvering the onscreen character, there's plenty of fun to be had by replaying the adventure to try to beat your last score."{{cite magazine |last=Stone |first=David |title=Micro - Reviews |magazine=Computer Gaming World |date=Jan–Feb 1983 |volume=1 |issue=8 |pages=44}}
