Imperfect but enjoyable.
Nice artwork, sound and atmosphere. Game mechanics could have been tweaked a little. In particular, controlling the screen depth of your robo is a little unreliable (not really a problem til level 24!!)
Level design is hit or miss. Runs the gamut from suspiciously simple to frustrating. Collecting all the stars means exploring each level fully as some are basically just hidden. Some levels also force you to restart because you cannot backtrack if you missed one.
All in all this seems like a gameplay mechanic proof of concept. There is no story or personality to pull you in. Definitely could be fleshed out more.
A good honest effort though. Hope to see the designers next work soon!
