Club gave the game an "A" rating, calling it a "tough, unbeatable game" with "atrocious challenge".[4] Tracy Erickson of Pocket Gamer UK gave the game 3.5/5 stars and the Bronze award, calling it "an amusing, bite-sized piece of gaming", and saying that while it "travels a familiar course", "the manner in which it's presented makes this old formula fresh".[6]
