Review:

Nice bright graphics and a highly original idea for the time. Once you have figured out how to build up the blocks (the instructions are a little vague) progress is quite rapid and rewarded by additional nasties on later levels. Unfortunately, success results in bitter disappointment as there are far less unique levels than trumpeted in the advertising as the game simply recycled back to the original level far before the end.

Still, it was good enough to keep me going right to the end when it was first released but it does look very primitive nowadays and the graphics flicker badly.
