I played the juggling thing once and with my bad reflexes I just mashed left and right. Since I don't want to break my fingers, I will not play this again.

enjoyable

i too noticed the difficulty, and i think i would have to say that i would enjoy more games, maybe at least another 5, since that would make the experience last longer. I like the art style, good work overall!

Near Perfection

The most noticeable quality that jumps out to me is how well the art style fits the goal of the game. An art style consisting only of sprites matches up great for this kind of game play. The diversity of the mini-games was also impressive. You have a nice enough variety to keep someone entertained for several minutes at the very least. Not to mention, I found myself being willing to go back and replay just to get that perfect performance.

The only notable issue with this game is the relative difficulty of the various games. For instance, the Human Cannonball act and the Juggling game are far easier than the other three mini-games in my opinion. Toning down the difficulty of the other three games might be a little too much, but increasing the difficulty of the human cannonball game might be fitting. I'm not sure if it was your goal for the games to be increasingly difficult as they are unlocked, but retuning the Human Cannonball game would achieve that pattern (in my opinion, at least).

That said, this is a fantastic game that will probably go missed by many unfortunately. An absolute must-play!
