Skyroads
(1992 Bluemoon Interactive)


Skyroads is a fun action game, where you must steer your 
rocket-propelled mobile capable of jumping through a track 
of floating panels, tunnels and obstacles.

Special panels fuel your ship, speed or slow it or just plain 
destroy you. Graphics are made with neat, functional plain 
vectors-- it ain't fancy, but in some tracks the geometrical 
design and use of colours result in minimalistic beauty.

Sweet ole Adlib-music adds to the game's atmosphere, which in 
itself is consistent. Gameplay is well-though, balanced to be 
challenging but not too fustrating. Player has an unlimited 
supply of ships and a loss of one isn't really noted (you just 
have to restart the track), which is great since you really 
have to fail a couple of times before you can unravel the secrets 
of each track. Overall, Skyroads is highly recommended to anyone 
who likes arcade racing games. Two thumbs up!

Formerly shareware, the game has recently been released as freeware 
by its developer Bluemoon Interactive. Three cheers to Bluemoon, and 
let's hope that more game companies will follow suit.
