GameProTemplate:'s Kamikaze remarked that the game was quite difficult despite appearances.[4] GamesMasterTemplate:'s Les Ellis said that the game was "a vertical blast of fun" but hard to take seriously due to the setting and characters.[9] Super ProTemplate:'s Dave Westley commended the game's imaginative visuals, but criticized its dull backgrounds and considered the soundscapes and gameplay to be average.[10]
