Reception edit

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".[5]

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".[6]

Rhett Anderson for Compute! said that "players unfamiliar with Boulderdash probably won't stand much of a chance; experts will be delighted. Beginners are better off designing their own games with easier challenges before trying to tackle the sample game".[7]

David Langendoen for Family Computing considered the game as "boulder" and "better" than its predecessors.[8]

Ervin Bobo for Compute!'s Gazette said that the action in the game is fast and deadly.[9]
