I'm generally horrible at platformers and things that require precision and some reviews kinda scared me off, but I didn't find this game that hard. Sure, enemies hit pretty hard, so you'll die often and have to reapeat some screens, but to me it wasn't enough to make the game annoying to me. I generally play these kind of games as an uphill battle in short sessions. It took me around 9 hours to get to the end (with 100% exploration of the map, because I wanted to see it all and I'm not replaying it anythime soon!). All in all, it was a lovely short story, challenging enough to be fun and very pretty to look at. I'm glad with my purchase.
