Oh, so it's an Arkanoid clone with a funny name and cute aesthetic and...oh...oh.

So what brough about that reaction? It's how fast the ball speeds up when it bounce off things. Even on the lowest difficulty that things goes QUICK. The horizontal level layout doesn't help things either, as that means less time to process where that speedy boy is going. There are power-ups, but you can only have one at a time and they don't stack, meaning you'll just accidentally kill yourself when you think you're getting stronger or hit another power-up by mistake. The controls demand peak precision, but the speed of the ball combined with this simply doesn't make for a good time. The levels don't help either, rather than be designed to be fun, they come in two types: "Haha, they look like a thing" or "I hate you" with no in-between. The game is brutal, the only video playthrough I've seen uses heavy save scumming, and you'll have to do the same here if you want to rescue those gumdrops.

Go pop your woody somewhere else.
