There’s a vibrancy that ensures progress is a pleasure and backtracking is seldom a chore – in fact, the game is often at its best when you’re free from the demands of unlocking the next section and simply revelling in your buoyant weightlessness. [Nov 2004, p.110]

While its cuteness, simple goals, and short running time seem perfect for the little tykes, its complex controls, difficult jumping puzzles, and rough camera turned off our six-year old test subject after 20 minutes. [Apr 2005, p.78]
