+ There's a good sense of exploration as you need to find keys to open door to new stages, and the levels are pretty large with many sub-paths to go along.
+ Lots of stuff to collect if you enjoy collecting lots of random things in games
+ Kind of charming in a way... looks like some sort of school project
+ Mechanically it works well, and the platforming is pretty good in some areas

- Enemies kill you in 1 hit, I was annoyed by the bees who come at you from an angle very fast, and the monkeys who throw bannas constantly at you. If you die you go back to the last checkpoint.
- The default controls were awful on keyboard and controller, you will have to rebind some.
-  Really poor background music
- The art direction....is just.... like...what? I'm kind of wondering if someone really used microsoft paint or if they made it look this way on purpose...


In conclusion I would say the game would probably be quite challenging to beat, it might be fun for kids, or for someone looking for a platformer that's more about exploring than getting to the end of the level. Graphically it could use some improvements, but overall it's not really that bad of a game. I actually did see myself wanting to play a bit more to find keys to see what happened next. 

So overall I'm going to recommend it mainly because it's a decent platformer in a sorta charming imaginative world. :)
