Reception

Aktueller Software Markt compared the game to Super Pipeline and Block Hole, and called the game unoriginal but well staged and fun.[1] Power Play said the same concept is done better in the Game Boy game, Blodia.[2] Amiga-Magazin compared the game to Pipe Mania and thought the game was too difficult.[5] Joystick also compared it to Pipe Mania and said the game will appeal to fans of puzzle games.[4] ST Format liked the graphics and sound but said the gameplay is frustrating.[3]
