Was tempted back to this by an update featuring John Gore from Minigore. Couldn’t find those levels – maybe you need to buy them in the shop, or something, I am stupid and forgot to look – but spent my time getting reacquainted with the game after a long time away.

Water is very annoying - stay out of it where possible.

The controls have changed, apparently, but it’s been so long since I last played that I couldn’t tell you how. It all seems more fluid than I remembered, though. I got very frustrated with the level I’d got to when I last played, until I worked out the best way to get through breakable blocks and remembered I had shoes that would let me jump up a long way. Once I’d worked that out, the level turned out to be pretty easy. It’s just a shame it took me about ten tries to remember how everything worked.

I’m looking forward to really getting back into this now I’ve worked it all out again – but whether I will or not is another question. Still, that’s the great thing about the iPhone. I’ve got dozens of games sitting there, waiting to be played again at any time.
