!!!SPOILER ALERT!!! This is a graphic adventure with puzzles to solve. Do not watch more than the first 6 minutes if you plan to play the game!!! The review has no spoilers: You work in the M.O.N.J.A.S.-type Epsylon 9 space station, but you are tired of it and want to live big adventures outside.

Watching the intro for the game will give you a good idea of why Pink would like to get away from the space station. The game has huge sprites, a cartoonish look, great humor and weird puzzles to solve!

You play as Pink, and all the other inside the space station is named by their color. We have Red, Green, Yellow, Blue and later White will arrive. You need to do a few things to make White arrive, but actually it is White that starts the game, when he arrives all the puzzles will be activated.

White comes in his own spaceship, and as he has no toilet in this, he had to make an emergency landing on the Epsylon 9 space station. Now, as Pink would like to leave the space station with White, he will have to get White some food and the objects necessary for modifying the spaceship so it can have two passengers.

You can interact with all you meet, and when you have solved a puzzle, a new dialogue might be selectable if you go to someone you have talked to earlier.

It isn't the longest graphic adventure we have seen on the Spectrum, and experienced players of this genre will solve the puzzles in a day or two, but the humor is hilarious (somewhere between South Park and The Simpsons), and it is a really nice looking colorful game that makes great use of character based scrolling. The choice of graphics suits this game well and makes it look like a cartoon, and as well as there is an intro, there is also an outro if you manage to complete the game.

Thumbs up for making a menu driven adventure game with both vertical and horizontal scrolling in full color! The Spectrum community could use more games like this (let's hope for a sequel).

Available in both English and Spanish versions.

The game was made by Rastersoft in 2021
