This is the kind of game that is pretty much just pure joy. I was smiling throughout most of it simply because the levels and power ups are so wonderfully inventive I was being surprised constantly until the very end. The difficulty level is just right, meaning that most levels took me 2-3 attempts to collect every collectable, especially in the latter stages of the game. Sure, there were a handful of pretty banal levels that didn’t require too much effort and a couple that I found frustratingly difficult (thinkinking mostly of the level unlocked after beating the story and collecting all collectables - yeah, that one was tough). But the impeccable controls and the aforementioned level design kept me entertained regardless. If I had to nitpick I’d say that the search party levels felt superfluous. Also, perhaps there weren’t enough opportunities to use the full array of available power ups - I mostly stuck to 3 that I found worked best for me and managed to get through the game with relatively no issues. Oh, and the rhythm sections were fantastic, please include more of them in the next installment!
