Definitely a decent port. Maybe they used the ST version as a basis but they clearly went out of their way to enhance it with overlays for the arcade-style score and status bars, etc. They could have rewritten the engine entirely and made the overall gameplay better but that would probably mean losing some of the improvements they made (e.g. bringing solid status bars back).
Amiga-optimized games almost never had "real" overlay status bars because it would conflict with the gameplay elements. Games got away with it by enforcing limits such that player/enemy never went high/low enough to actually have to appear below status/score, etc.
ST games just plain didn't do it at all since they didn't have the hardware.
