Most obstacles simply move back and forth, though there are a few death traps scattered among them as well. Overall, the challenge is reasonable and the game proceeds at a fair speed. There are over eighteen stages, from labs to penthouse apartments and a fashion show, ensuring a variety of locales. There are no time limits or requirements to finish a level, allowing you time to explore and free more caged animals. Like many other games in this genre, memorization and experience is essential to survival.
Some spots require blind jumps and falls, ensuring replay value at the sacrifice of game design.
The controls can be a problem, since making Gordo run requires a double-tap on the joypad. This produces dashes at inopportune times, and presents difficulties when you need to rush in a small space, such as a running jump. These flaws add to the frustration and reduce the already-low levels of appeal in the title. If you're looking for a title to show off the Lynx, Gordo 106 is not it. Graphics are a bit on the whimsical side, but generally uninspired.
