the swinging section is kind of the platonic ideal of an atari game: a simple action that's fun to do over and over. the combination of the jump speed and the parallax scrolling makes it feel thrilling every time, and i wouldn't mind playing a much longer section based on that.

however, the rest of the package is very uneven. the swimming section is well-animated but always goes on longer than i'd like it to. jumping over balls isn't bad, but the arc of the large ball really makes it seem like you should be able to walk under it, which as far as i can tell can't be done. the final boss just sucks in both concept and execution.
