"Classic"
Hand-drawn animation of prodigious fluidity, dazzling colours and settings brimming with whimsy: the UbiArt engine works wonders. Every creature and every backdrop seems painted with an infectious joy. This 2D splendour, lively and inventive, remains a dazzlement at every screen.
Mischievous and virtuosic, the music blends jazz, world sonorities and zany choirs, culminating in the famous musical levels where everything synchronises on screen. Each stage sparkles with a wild inventiveness that matches the game's bouncing whimsy. This unbridled sonic creativity is the whole charm of this festival of colour.

"Masterful"
Running, jumping and striking in time, sometimes to the exact beat of the music, anchors a platformer of contagious fluidity and joy. The inventive level design and four-player co-op multiply the fun. The peak of the 2D genre, it keeps controls of absolute precision and a freshness that hasn't lost a thing.
