There are plenty of levels in this side-scroller, some of which are somewhat challenging (though mostly owing to the fact that you can't move very fast at all, and you also can't move while shooting). The jumping engine is not very well put together, and I had a hard time figuring out the controls (since there is no obvious controls menu or readme included with the game). Finally, and perhaps most annoying of all, is the lack of a status bar. Even pressing Enter to view MZX's status window doesn't help - because Bramblekid doesn't use the default counters to display your health and ammo.

It's a good diversion, but if you're obsessive about seeing how much health you have, this may prove to be frustrating.
