I also really like the cover art drawn by Bob Wakelin 🖌️
It's a shame that the game was never released in a "big box" format (only in a plastic case).

British gamers will be familiar with the legend that is the late, great Bob Wakelin. His amazing artwork graced much of Ocean Software’s output, with classics such as Head Over Heels, Slap fight, Batman, Operation wolf, Chase H.Q. and many, many others.

Un platformer bondissant. En effet, on y jouait une espèce de boule vivante qui, pour progresser dans les tableaux, rebondissait sur le sol. Il fallait donc souvent anticiper nos différents rebonds, tout en évitant les obstacles. Encore une superbe cover de feu Bob Wakelin.

One of my earliest exposures to 'lewd' content. The cover and (Amstrad CPC) loading screen to the 1987 game 'Game Over' (of which I have a poster of from an old issue of Retro Gamer) and the controversial nipples. :P
The artwork came from a 1984 issue of Heavy Metal, by artist Luis Royo.
Bob Wakelin stated he copied the helmet design for his box art for the game Mutants (also 1987).
