Robert Jung reviewed the Atari Lynx version of the game which was published to IGN. He wrote that, "Despite the cute graphics and the simple plot, this title offers good clean fun for players of all ages" and gave an 8 out of 10 score.[1]
Atari 7800 Forever retrospectively scored the game 3.5 out of 5, identifying with the urban blighted world and praising the amount of unique surprises in the game, yet admonishing the extremely difficult jumps that feel cheap.[14]
