The game received generally favorable reviews, with Mark Caswell of Crash magazine calling it "g-r-r-rreat stomping, frazzling, crushing fun!"[3] Duncan MacDonald of Your Sinclair called it "A large sprite, prehistoric mega-romp and smash-em up with the emphasis on total destruction," but warned the reader, claiming the game had a "syrupy control response."[5]
The game was issued on the Commodore Format magazine as a full version game in December 1992.[7]
