With this game we try to challenge the player to finish the entire game with only 3 continues. There are no save points so you have to make the entire run in one go. If you have friends (Or the internet) you can share cheat codes to skip some levels, but don't forget you will not get the maximum amount of points and maybe not able to unlock certain achievements using cheat codes. The choice is you…

- “I like that the blob leaves slime on the ground you touch, and the transformation mechanic is cool in theory, but it's so short that most mechanics are used only a couple of times before the game is abruptly over.”
- “The gameplay is okay, as far as platformers go, but unappealing graphics and repetitive music make it really hard to want to play it for a long period of time.”
- “The game is actually so short that you can beat it in under 5 minutes if you ignore collectibles and know what you're doing, so the monster switching mechanic and most other mechanics aren't used to their full potential.”
- “Sloppy controls, missing basic features, poorly thought out mechanics.”
- “The graphics are awful, the gameplay mechanic is unenjoyable, and the fact that you can die 3 times and then game over is unbelievable.”
