While Officer Kelly will have to avoid numerous obstacles to reach the escalators at the end of each floor to take him up to the next floor. Coming into contact with items such as radios, beach balls, and shopping carts will incur a time penalty nine-second penalty and give Harry (who does not run as fast as Keystone but starts his escape from the second floor) a better chance to reach the safety of the rooftop.
Just like with Chopper Command, Antonio Savona, Steven Day and Saul Cross have collaborated well together to ensure that the adaptation of Keystone Kapers is as faithful as possible while improving the overall game presentation.
Savona continues to show off his tight coding skills, providing highly responsive controls that elevates the overall enjoyment of the game. Steve Day’s refined graphics are quite vibrant and real pleasure to look at (unless you don’t like the colour green, and Saul Cross in game tunes and sound effects are spot on.
