This is an honest review, as I think some of the other reviews are a bit too complimentary. I'm all for supporting small developers, whether they are from Brazil or any other country for that matter, which is why I decided to purchase this game. The game is OK. I still rate it positively, cos I had fun playing it. But I think there's a lot of room for improvement. The soundtrack is NOT great. There are like 2 different songs, it's very repetitive. I know that the developers also sell the soundtrack separately, which is why other reviews emphasize on how good it is, but it's not that great, really. Gameplay is pretty straightforward. It's basically a one-button platformer where you only jump to get to platforms and/or avoid enemies. After a few levels, the devs resort to the old backtracking trick, where you have to go from one end of the level to the other, and then back again, so that the levels appear longer than they really are. You can (automatically) pull some levers to activate the movement of some platforms, although sometimes it's not very obvious what you just activated. There are a few blind jumps, another element that I really dislike in platformers. There is also a shop where you can spend the coins you gather from the levels on things that won't really help you progress through the game, as they're only aesthetic. To purchase everything, you have to play the game (or at least some levels) more than once, which is kind of another trick to make the game longer. The game is fairly easy. The difficulty is not consistently progressive, tho (level 19, the next to last level, was actually one of the easiest). I only actually died once, and finished the whole thing in less than 45 minutes, but it would have taken a shorter amount of time if I hadn't restarted some levels to complete it perfectly (with 3 stars, that is: no deaths, all coins and all keys gathered), which I stopped trying after a few levels. Maybe the real challenge would be to get all stars on every level, which I didn't. Overall, I think it's just OK. Maybe great, even, for kids. But we have to face the reality that there are better games on this same price range. Get it on discount if you can.
