Kokoro Clover Part1 does a lot of things right, mainly its sunday morning Japanese show presentation both visually and from an audio perspective with a very catchy old school theme song. However, as a game, it falls really short in terms of gameplay (overly simple combat, physics), bland level design and poor boss battles.

For whatever reason, you have to manually scroll through the story segments and levels, almost like a chapter select of sorts but completely unnecessary. If you are interested in this game is probably worth waiting for the Complete Season upcoming game which will combine parts 1 and 2 and include new levels.
