The game looks great, the controls were mostly fine (jump is a bit laggy but I guess its by design) and the puzzle platforming was fun; just the right level of difficulty in my opinion and there was enough variety between levels to keep things from getting boring although arguably some levels probably did go on a bit long.
Characters

Story is ok, character design is adorable, sufficient comedy and touching moment.
