My original review: I was having fun and about to recommend this game, but the "Collectathon" achievement for 10,000 points did not drop, despite me surpassing 10,000 points. This is a red flag for completionists like me. My new review: The developer fixed the issue the same day! Its nice to have devs who are responsive! This is a fun little platformer. Its short. Its sweet. Its free!
