Some levels are quite relaxed, others require quick reflexes. The first level has you running along wooden piers to the end, but look to the air above or dive into the waters below and you'll discover the hidden bonuses. The levels are well designed with a straightforward path to the goal, but with hidden items and areas for those who wish to explore.
