XIPHOIDS Commodore 64 game

Xiphoids has great, Knucklebusters like music and good graphics apart from the very jerky player ship animation. It is an interesting game, NOT a Shoot'em up like it is listed, it is a maze type game in which you can shoot some things. Unfortunately that is where the good news ends, it has poor playability and collision detection. As you bounce your way through the maze, getting stuck in whatever cause of the poor collision detection, you realize it is much too hard for this type of game. There are energy pickups, but they only give a blip of energy and 1 shot from the wrong enemy and it's game over.
Just another example of a game that could have been great would it have had a producer and a couple of hours of extra work.
