Reception

Rick Teverbaugh reviewed the Atari ST version of the game for Antic and said: "I'd mostly recommend it for Boulder Dash fanatics who know the game inside and out and want new horizons and challenges. They certainly can be created here".

Steve Panak reviewed the Atari 8-bit version of the game for Antic and wrote: "Of course, one expects all the hallmarks of a proven arcade wristbuster. The simple objectives, fast action and superb graphics make for hours of addictive play".
