Review:

The jump mechanic is annoying at first, yet once you get used to how far your character leaps, it is a fun platformer. Being able to jump on objects that look threatening initially is also counter intuitive but works well.

Apart from the tune that quickly becomes annoying, dying from very short falls is the only other major irritation.
