This little character is fun to move around. Graphics are a little \"too-much\" for me, but I guess this kind of style works pretty well! It's not your music but you made a great choice. Good job overall!

I had a good time playing it and it was pretty satisfying to move around especially when you get chain of the energy cubes to fly through.
