Its an medium length 4 stage, medium difficulty adventure game with a couple of awkward parts that will serve as walls for players.
The main one is really right out of the gate, as it opens up with an 'out of the box thinking' puzzle area. One of the textfiles included in the game has spoilers for this if need be though, though you'll have to be able to open japanese textfiles and translate them. There's also a textfile that says there are no secrets even though it kind of felt like there would be, so I'm just going to believe him.
Production wise its alright, nothing fancy but not really lacking. There's basic block areas for sure, but its in a trap environment which is kind of what you'd expect.
Platforming wise, the stages are quite distinct and have some cool stuff, though there's also some really annoying parts and some really unintuitive traps to figure out. The actual platforming difficulty for the most part is pretty reasonable, with the hard parts being the weird parts.
Boss-wise, also a mixed bag though atleast they are distinct and weird as well, but tend to have some annoying time wasting segments and generally questionable design. Definitely can be a sticking point (especially how tedious boss 2 is) so be warned if you're not willing to go into that.
Overall, its alright. The lows are much lower than the highs are high though, if that makes sense, so I'm not sure it was worth getting through the bumpy parts but there are a number of good parts to entertain yourself with along the way.
