Unique little concept! I like that it combined multiple gameplay types, and can see it having quite a lot of content without getting stale. However, the little slimes were hard to see in the flying segments, so it felt unfair to die to them... and, well, the music was a bit painful for me. I find that kind of harsh "ding" note unpleasant and almost all the music consisted of only those. The one section that had other instruments sounded nice though! Keep at it!
