Fun to play, but too short
This game has a very strong first impression, with a colourful, quirky and twee setting and a great first level which is a real joy to play. It’s cute and funny with great music and looks really good, although it is a bit rough round the edges and some levels (like Vanessa’s Mansion) show how cheaply it has been put together. The quality of the levels varies quite a bit, from large and explorative open areas to confined, linear sequences which are just not that fun to play. The levels are quite inventive, but the same enemies reappear far too often and not all of the hats are used to their best extent. The camera is a constant annoyance, especially in the compact levels, and the difficulty gap between the main levels (easy) and the bosses (hard) is a bit of a shock. That being said, the bosses aren’t too unreasonable once you get the hang of them, and much like the other characters, they are memorable and fun to meet. Overall, it’s a solid platformer that’s definitely fun to play, but is too short and loses the magic too early.
