Simple yet fun
I won on my first try with 1 (+7 = 8) lives to spare. So, I'd say the difficulty seems reasonable. I think this game is great as is. The extra life dropped by all enemies is not always so easy to collect, adding an interesting dimension to the game. Being able to survive with a bit of the doll's leg missing is a nice touch. My only complaint is that the 8 looks a bit like a 13. That isn't enough to justify not giving you a 10. Excellent job.
