Like Fantasy World, they got the difficulty just right with diamonds having the function of replenishing health and not just collecting to beat the game. You only get three lives but if you careful with your jumping being aware of what's on the next screen, it should be enough. There are a few hazards that kill in in on hit and I lose a couple of lives to show the interesting ones.
Overall, another good conversion from Spectrum to C64. No notable bugs this time but getting out of the volcano cavern near the end took a few goes. However they did get lazy and simply took the music from Wacky Darts and slapped it in instead of converting the spectrum tune.
