This game is sadistic. It loves killing you. It is a source of endless frustration. Actually, truth be told I'm enjoying it a great deal, though I've racked up 549 deaths over the course of an hour and 20 minutes of gameplay and three bosses. Probably because the maker crafted levels with slight variations in timing, platform placement, falling object speed/direction, etc to kill you new ways almost every time. For instance, in one of the first screens, you have to dodge through a grove of trees as apples fall down on you. You get to the end and jump onto a platform...and a leftover apple, defying gravity, flyies straight up through the air to slice you into pieces.
Here's a video of some guy going through the first few screens of the game:

His voice is pretty annoying but it's a pretty good example of how the game works.
