Like Kirby's Dream Land, the sprites and music have a sparkling, cute atmosphere, but the difficulty level is high, making it a very rewarding game!
The Finale stage, in particular, took me almost 40 minutes to clear!
But it was so, so much fun!

I really feel like I'm playing an NES game :)  Flashes of Kirby and it's super fun to just roll around on the yo-yo!

Game is amazing, so good in fact that I ripped off the skin on my fore arm it was so good! I now have a game to return to and a hospital bill to pay!

I hope it grows back soon so you can keep playing!

theres a secret room below the bridge on the third level

So true! I saw it too, it took me by surprise!

I'm going to KILL this mouse!

Oh I just love how this game looks and feels!

It's so smooth and the movement feels great on it's own, but then you add the yoyo element along with the tricks you can do, which took me a bit but once I got the hang of 'em I was bouncing around non-stop!

Also love the Kirby inspiration in the music and art style, even a little in the gameplay with some of the moves you can do, but they're far more varied here! Can easily imagine a game with even more movements and tricks to pull off someday, but goodness what is here feels really solid and like an NES gem awesome work!
