Gameplay

Use left on dpad and C for the two paddles.
The one and only table has three levels of paddles, although you rarely see the top level.
There's also a mini game of Pong vs skeletons which move toward you, Plants vs Zombies style.
The camera scrolls with the ball which is very nice.
It's pinball, but it's a good game of pinball.

4 / 5

Level Design

Well there's only the one table.
It has several triggered events, like a big set of blocks to knock down, words to knock down one letter at a time, lots of blinking bumpers, and uhh, an inchworm that crawls across the table.

1 / 5

Theme

Not a pinball fan.
Not a heavy metal fan.
Not a morbid, bugs and skeletons fan.

3 / 5

Art Style

Wonderful animation and scrolling. Everything moves smoothly with no slowdown.
It's a dark background but there's a lot to look at in the foreground. Could've used a few more sprites beyond the skeletons and inchworm, but whatever.

3 / 5

Audio

It's horribly raspy but the tunes are enjoyable. The sounds aren't great tho. Perfect example of Genesis sounds
