This is a homebrew vcs game by John K. Harvey released in 2000. A simple one player game, the objective is increase pressure on gauge two my manipulating gauge one before gauge three pressure falls to zero. Confused? Let me clarify further. There are three gauges represented by solid bars. The first bar rises to the top then repeats this procedure, while the third pressure bar is slowly decreasing. There is a block located on the side of the screen which is roughly half the distance vertically to the top. By pressing the button when the first bar has risen into this sweet spot zone, the second pressure bar increases a little. Repeat this procedure until the second gauge bar reaches the top before the third bar decreases to zero. The colors then change indicating the next level where the first bar increases faster making it tougher each time. This is where the game gets tough. Even if you hit this zone, you don't always increase the pressure. If you hit the upper part or lower part of the sweet spot area the pressure decreases. Why have a decent sized zone if there are limits within the zone. After a few levels, its very tough to raise the pressure. You think you hit the spot but pressure two still decreases. Very cheap at times. The graphics are extremely basic consisting of three ugly colored pressure bars a ground line and ceiling line, the block sweet spot zone and a line indicating the height pressure bar two must increase to. Sound is above average but the game over music is quite creepy. Its an odd title with not much value to it.
