What the critics said
The Games Machine criticized the bowling level for "the long-winded restacking of the pins after each bowl – this is taking realism too far."
— The Games Machine
One reviewer for ST Action wrote that the painting level "is clever, infuriating, and taxing, but the bowling scene could have been more thoughtfully designed."
— ST Action
The magazine wrote, "The Commodore version moves at a fair rate, while the Spectrum and Amstrad CPC versions are slow enough to cause frustration."
