A fantastic puzzle game! Great music and colors do some great window dressing around a game that really revolves around it's mechanics (no pun intended).

A player must navigate a rotating stick with 3 levels of speed while avoiding the walls, traps and hazards. It really is What you see is what you get here. It does feel that only certain personalities would even enjoy this type of game, but the light story, colors, music and small unlockables to decorate the stick do so much to push the player forward. A similar game on the PlayStation One, Irritating Stick, has nearly identical rules around its game play and achieves none of the charm.

The whole thing is rather short and mildly geared toward completionists. For those players, beating all levels without taking damage only gives a handful of levels as a reward. Achievable, but slightly lackluster.

Level design is great, but is lacks variety toward the end. Hoping to get some of that variety in later entries.
