I'm not a fan of the aimlessness and forced backtracking. I like exploration, but it doesn't feel well executed here. For example, being told to find chicks without any info on how many there are (or what general area to check) and being kicked out of the house without warning feels like questionable game design.

In general, the progression system is obtuse. It's difficult to tell what I should be doing. Having lives feels especially out of place since this isn't a typical left-to-right 2D platformer and makes progressing more difficult. I would've preferred a checkpoint system. The controls feel a bit floaty.
