I downloaded this today on a whim... it's okay, very nice graphics, cute characters, mediocre premise. Enough to keep you entertained on the bus or in a waiting room, but nothing amazing or mind-bending. I beat the first three chapters with all gold in about 10 minutes, so I hope it gets harder or at least longer, otherwise maybe it's more appropriate for young kids. Worth 99 cents, easily.

I'm old enough that I shouldn't want to make a joke about your desire for harder and longer... damn it!
Disregarding that, now that you've confirmed the price to me, I will have to have it.

@jsx92 The main chapter levels are for casual players you need to try the Extreme levels then try to say if it still easy. Then there is the weekly challenges that the difficulty varies.

I played two more chapters last night (I have been doing the "Extreme" levels). Still pretty easy.
There's 20 chapters, each with 20 or so levels, each one screen-length long. In each chapter a new device is introduced (fan, jumping tire, double jump, etc), and so far it's EXTREMELY easy. Since all you have to do is tap it's all about timing, and since the levels are all so tiny it's really easy to just get by on trial-and-error. There's also two cheat mechanisms, slowing down time and taking the bus that you can earn to make it even easier, and I've just been stockpiling them.
That said, it's relaxing in how easy it is, so it definitely fits in with games like SameGame or Solitaire.
Also FYI the iPad version is $1.99.

Bought it immediately! It's excellent, of course.

Played this game last night and a bit this morning. Great game. On the 13th Chapter so far. Im sure as I get deeper it will be one of those 'easy to play, hard to master' type of games.
Its really good if you only have a few mins to play too. Most levels take about 4 seconds to finish.
