Review:

An unusual game for Ultimate that is quite different from anything else they ever did. It does have the hallmark of excellent graphics and fine gameplay but the small screen could make it difficult to avoid obstacles.

Also, being only 16K and despite managing to cram in a large map, once you get the hang of it, it is not that difficult to complete. Recommended, anyway.
