14. The Bad “I'm sure by now my readers are wondering if I would buy this game, and to be honest I'd have to say that I'd skip it.” “The game is colourful and cheap and does feature a very good background song but there is nothing much to the game and could have done with having more of a platforming puzzle element to it.”
