The fifth game in the Dizzy series (not counting the arcade spin-offs), following Magicland Dizzy and preceding Prince of the Yolkfolk.
This is arguably the longest and most sprawling instalment, at least in terms of the area to explore – also the rockiest. It stands out for its particularly irritating rigid controls (imprecise jumps, feeling of slowness, perhaps because one has to walk a lot, and the nature of one of the first puzzles makes the game highly repetitive and tedious).
Still, with a bit of patience and a taste for long solitary hikes whilst carrying a rucksack full of stones … the challenge is worth taking on!
