This collection includes two very similar games, built on a very simple principle and a single button interaction - Jump. The music, the pastel colors, the little animations - they all promote a chill-out attitude. Playing this game can get really zen-like at times. Then at other times you might want to break the keyboard as you fail to achieve a specific goal for the umpteenth time. The goals are what prevents the game from becoming boring. An ever-increasing difficulty of tasks make you want to retry stuff. Unfortunately, the randomly-generated nature of the game means that you have to repeat play a lot before some tasks are even possible - jumping three chasms in one run is hard to do if the RNG had generated chasms very far away from each other in a given run.
In the end, I found that for my tastes the progress is slow and new things to do and see are hard to come by, and ticking 30 tasks before opening every new character has become onerous. Still, I will fire it up occasionally when I'm chillin'.
