Silly, free-form puzzle-platforming fun.

Each level is its own mini-sandbox with a bunch of characters and elements scattered around for you to make do with, but there's more careful design at work than it might appear at first. The progression of areas as well as the construction of the levels themselves is good at gradually training you in without the need for any real explanation, and although there's plenty of trial-and-error-type stuff, that seems by design as well, and the punishment for failure (starting the small level over) is never harsh enough to make that too annoying. When you get stuck, you'll get what they're going for eventually if you keep at it, or just stumble onto the conclusion while messing around and having fun. Those moments feel great.

There is plenty of, um, "distinct British humor" to ... enjoy in here, but thankfully the level progression is more than enough reward in itself - it's always fun to see what kind of new playground is up next.

There's tons of jank befitting its loosey-goosey nature, and it's about exactly as ugly as you would expect a game of this - let's say provenance - to be, but it's a goofy good time on your N64!
