Ohhh, cool art!
I love the design of the magician, I was more concentrated on the art than the game at times (in a good way)! The narration and insurance story was entertaining and funny, and I definitely kept trying harder every time I failed just because I really wanted the next piece of the story!
I will say that I think it would help to make the text box UI opaque, as I had a hard time reading it because of interfering images in the back. The game sometimes felt a little bit cluttered, but I kind of love it at the same time... there's so much art going on and I really do enjoy the character design, lol.
I'm not too amazing as these sorts of games, so I failed quite a lot, but it was fun regardless!
The difficulty sure does ramp up pretty fast, so I'd say that my one other suggestion is to scale the difficulty a little slower :) The 5 cups were so hard for me... my eyes were all over the place, and thus I was pretty concentrated when playing! It's easy to get into the flow of the game, which is awesome, and makes it a fun play. Great character design, narration, and a very enjoyable game!
Fun stuff :)
