I enjoyed this game. The art was cute. The mechanics were simple but fun, throwing new things in and giving them proper introduction n how they work. The level design was pretty tricky. This game has a lot of polish.
However, there are a few things that could be improved. The controls seem a bit laggy in the beginning, but once you realize how to press the buttons ahead of time, they are pretty responsive. Level four is an extremely steep difficulty curve, it ended my first two runs on easy and normal, and almost made me quit the game. Also, the death animations take too long. This may seem like a nitpick, but this clashes with many aspects of the game. This game is a hard die then retry game. Having to wait for the girl to catch you is frustrating. Besides, the added addition of the clock, which continues even when you die.
Also, I want to talk about how the time limit was implemented. It was a little frustrating, but breezing through the first few levels after a restart? Man, that felt good. Although I fear in hardcore there will be a similar problem, where you know you can't beat the level in time, so why bother trying, and just waiting.
This game is a good game and it deserves more attention. I hope this feedback is helpful and not overly negative.
