Gameplay:
Let me just say this is one of the cutest little games I've ever played in while. Not the funnest in the world, but adorable just the same. Basically you are a potato of a man, that has an umbrella. It's actually a concept I kind of got into. The game gets points with me just because of how well the whole game manages to be so cute. Everything melds together pretty well. The games gameplay premise has you jumping from platforms and using you umbrella to destroy and block enemies. Its not super fun, but I found it entertaining for a while.

Graphics:
The graphics maintain the cutesy sort of appearance this game seems to be going for, so it definetely works for it. They aren't really appealing or anything, but they do work for the game.

Sound:
I wont lie to you...I think the music in this game is awesome. It perfectly suits the game in every way I think it should. If I start up an awards page someday (hint..hint) this'll probably win one of the sound awards in some way.

Control:
I don't know, I actually had some trouble with the controls. I never really felt like jumping seemed right. I fell and died alot, but mabey I just suck. The actual umbrella controls work fine, and collision detection works.

Overall:
It's hard not to love the cute factor of the game, and I think an improved sequal would be great as I found the idea of this game kind of fun. Still, it's a game you'll play once, and probably never again. Defenitely worth a try though.
