Played some more.
The levels are also huge, I mean if you put all the levels together it would rival a GTA size city in real estate terms only each area designed to be platformed through. Fun stuff.
I absolutely could not believe it when you walk into the morgue section of a hospital wing 
There were lifeless bodies on the slabs all greyed out and the Rabbids, bless them continued on collecting goodies, completely oblivious to where they were. Genius!
The game has this vocal announcer like Leo mentioned which points out how banal our lives can be and she is brilliant. She gets annoyed when you aren't listening to her and comes out with some lines good enough for Sam and Max hit the Road.
Also the challenge has ramped up again. Its never going to have you crushing your controller in your hand or cursing but its a notable and welcome step up. I really hope further down the line there is the opportunity for speed runs and incentives to do so because this game is made for that kind of thing. I dont even like speed runs but I would actually want it in this game.
They dont make cheery platformers like this anymore, we used to have Rare for these sorts of games other than mario. It's great to play something like this among all the po-faced seriousness of modern games.

Don't think I haven't been keeping my eye on you, Mister!
£18, Bugsie pounce like a tiger!
I completed it, there is one really hard level that is ass. 1 out of 34 levels isn't bad.
Great ending and a fun game. Needs boss fights, a bit of story and more polish to make it triple A.
I stand by my 8.5
Very fun, very easy to play.

Zavvi is ass. I can't login to my account AGAIN, its been temporarily disabled. You can't email them directly, you have to use their online form and you can't access the online form unless............ YOU'RE LOGGED IN.
And now I have to phone them back and IF they say they can't find my details again.... my rage will be un-fucking-controllable.

yeah their website is not very robust. weird things happen like they don't accept my card for no good reason, or they tell me the payment failed then they tell me they shipped the game etc. also prices just fluctuate chaotically. anyway as far as i'm concerned any hobo outlet is a good outlet. especially since my only option is online shops

It's just the zavvi brand as well. It was actually bought by The Hut.
If this purchase doesn't work out I'm not sure I will attempt to order from them again. So far its not been a smooth experience.
So I called again, they STILL couldn't find my details using my account email. How ******** stupid. So I use the order number. Nice. They disable your account if you get your password wrong twice. How annoying.
I got confirmation of my other games being dispatched. No fable 2 but other than that is seems okay.
Okay played a couple hours more. There are literally tons of levels which is impressive, especially given that they aren't mario galaxy style planetoids but full levels with floors and walls, not just a space backdrop.
Now I'm playing more and more I think a few reviews were quite deceptive with their comments on repitition. Like Soul Bubbles it seems like a simple concept that you think is going to repeat itself ad nauseum throughout the game but it keeps adding new things.
Like I said the level where you walk between radioactive goo in the darkness. I also played this level where you desperately hang onto a jet engine, what makes it work is that it has perfect controls. Then there is this level where you are in a rubber ring and on a cliff going downwards, bouncing off the sides. Recentely I found out I can now jetski on water.
The game adds little things like being able to boost, or shoot into ceiling fans and flip around. The city hub suddenly gets populated with verminators out to stop you once you are a few levels in. Then it starts introducing mario galaxy style bullet bills and as you play more and more the patterns get more and more tricky to get past.
Got to say I'm suprised at this game, its good and I'd welcome a sequel with open arms. If you like funny platformers, try it out. So far I'd give it an 8.5
