I've seen people say this game gets hard like what? this is fairly easy compared to even Crash Bandicoot. I really like the levels on display here, and how clever use of the Frogun can make you feel smart, even if you can effectively climb any wall in the game if you spam the gun hard enough which can lead to some pretty funny skips (like the entire final race can be very easily skipped.) There are a few design flaws like Jake being able to hurt you, and the Spiders and Beat Blocks not having any cues to prepare you for their coming and going, but they can still be surmounted well enough. The camera is entirely manual which can lead to some jank but it never gets too detrimental. Bosses are the old boring kind of "let them do their thing then you can get your hit in" with no opportunity to reward smart play which is kind of a bummer. The music is okay nothing to write home about but not bad while the visuals succeed at being really cute. It also has ample collecting which is Crash inspired, as in the kind you don't want to do all at once but you can do bits at a time for good fun.

All in all it's a cute platformer that I'd love to see get another go with a bigger budget.
