TICKWORLD Not Polyoptics from Stainless Software GBP 9.00 THREE STARS

Tickworld takes place in a sparse jungle inhabited by eight man sized and hungry ticks. You control a small figure, with the aid of the arrow keys on the keyboard, attempting to both avoid ending up as a mid morning snack and to capture the eight ticks with the aid of an unlimited supply of nets and eight cages.
The only way to capture these nightmare escapees is to throw nets around and hope they stumble into one as they move relentlessly towards yoo. Luckily their brains stayed normal size and this is not difficult.
There are three skill levels to choose from, the only apparent difference being less trees to hide behind on the higher levels.
Graphics and sound effects were quite impressive, adding much to the playability of the game.
My only criticisms are the slow speed of the game and the extreme difficulty in gaining a foothold against overwhelming odds.
