Its a nice idea I guess, but I don't like how the bar works. It took me until level 2 to realize that you can only make noise when the outside of the Breath-o-meter is green. Also, the goat doesn't really seem like a villain to me, but that might just be me. The graphics, music, and sounds go together really well, and add to the strange, trippy, early 90's Nickelodeon feel I get from this. Its really amusing, but unfortunately it wears of quickly, due to the game being repetitive. All in all, its a pretty okay game, it just doesn't really fit the theme well (even the sub-theme seems a bit forced...). If you were to continue this, you'd probably need to add more substance to it, because as of now, it feels like a Wario-Ware micro-game at best, and a cruddy flash game at worst."},{"author_name":"Geoege","author_uid":"13360","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 6:45pm","epoch":1355769600,"text":"Didn't expected it but laught really hard by playing your game.

Does it just go on forever? I got to the point where you have to be completely perfect every single time or you lose, so I'm guessing that's either the last level or it just ramps up in difficulty into infinity.
