When you see the infogrames logo you already know the music is going to bang

A few Infogrames' games on GB/GBC don't have Alberto Gonzalez as a composer (The Smurfs 2, Adventures of The Smurfs, Lucky Luke: Desperado Train...). And it sounds awful. Really.

Some surprisingly good parallax going on here. On most 8-bit releases, it usually consisted of a single tile repeating, but here it's more full-on with the likes of hills, mountains, and fences. It's not often that you see them go as far as this.
I just wish it wasn't so stiff on the movement side of things.

Cool parallax scrolling effects.

Fun fact: the developers only had 128kb of cartridge memory for the whole game. The fact that the programmer Isidro Gilabert managed to produce a full platformer PLUS a parallax scrolling is a true technical achievement.
It was also the last game with New Frontier as a developer, since the studio was remade under the name "Bit Managers" for the next GB titles.
