As mentioned in my comments below it is difficult to rationally explain why this game is as addictive as it is, but it is. ;-) The retro-style graphics are just lovely and the SID-inspired soundtrack match well with them to create a great arcade-esque feel. The gameplay seems simple at first but quickly becomes very involving, requiring strategic thinking. It's like someone took the best elements of every arcade game from the early 1980s and combined them into one game -- which only costs a few dollars. Absolutely exceptional game at an exceptional price.
