Reception

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."[4]

Steve Panak reviewed the Atari 8-bit version of the game for Antic and said "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."[5]

Rhett Anderson for Compute! said "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."[6]

David Langendoen for Family Computing said "Make sure you take a look at it. It's even a "boulder" and better game than its predecessors."[7]

Ervin Bobo for Compute!'s Gazette said "The action here is fast and deadly."[8]
