PSSST was one of the few games released too early to receive a review in CRASH, all that was published was this short snippet in issue 3, in a section called 'Spectrum Guide'.

It sounds a bit rude but it's a wonderful game with Ultimate's usual magnificent graphics Robbie the robot must keep the swarming insect life from eating his plant. To do this there are various spray cans lining the brick walls of the garden. Each level adds a different insect to the collection and the trick is that you must use the correct spray on the right insect or it only serves to stun for a moment. The insects also kill off Robbie as well as the plant, which shrinks away if it's eaten for too long Letting it grow results in a bloom and a new level. Amazing graphics. 100 percent machine code, 8-directional movement, one or two player game, sensible control keys and Kempston joystick Recommended. Also available in ROM cartridge form for £14.95
