Very cute game. After about 2-3 rounds, I knew I had to finish the thing… and finally did, about 45 minutes later.
Pros:
- Catchy music
- Addictive gameplay
- Simple graphics
- Quick learning curve
- Lots of unlockables
Cons:
- The “speed” required to achieve a perfect run on some levels seems completely impossible based on the level design, causing frustration.
- Sometimes, the controls seem like they’re responding too strongly or weakly based on movement.
- I can’t find a list anywhere on how to unlock a few awards.
Overall, I really liked it. It absorbed a good hour of my time, and the constant stream of many of the awards kept me going for more. Very good level design, if not occasionally masochistic from time to time.
Another thing I’ve wanted to do is talk a little bit about some of the games I play. They tend to mostly be casual games, due to the amount of time I actually have to play. 
But I will occasionally throw in a bigger game, when I have some time to play it.
I’m no journalist, and my reviews should really just be thought of as “my opinion” and “what I’m thinking at the time of writing.” If anyone tries to base their game opinions on mine and finds they don’t like something I do, well, I’m sure you’ll survive.
There won’t be ratings, stars, or numbers… just info. Specific numbers on a chart always feel arbitrary, to me anyway.
