Added for the simple fact that this is the first Rage Quit game I can remember. Controls are simple further you push left or right the further the flea leaps. Hold down the fire button to look around. Take too long and Mr Dragon turns up to eat you, fall down in the wrong place and the carnivorous plants chow down on you.
Coded by Paco & Paco on the Spectrum and converted to C64 by Pedro Ruiz with sound by Felix Arribas, this is possibly the first game to come from Spain on the C64. Graphics are clean, sound is sparse and the music is very basic.
It is an Incredibly frustrating game and has contemporaries in games like 'Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy', another game where rage quitting is par for the course. If thats your thing you'll enjoy this as its very simple to pick up and play. Oh, and the Dragon can go do one.....
