It was definitely a short but fun game. My first run through, I got all the way to the end without falling or getting hit (got close a few times, though). The monsters, especially the background ones, gave this an awesome Lovecraft-esque feel. The silhouette style made it even more awesome.
The way I see it, the different scalings help: if a picture looks stretched, you know it needs to be shrunk, and vice versa. Also, low-res pics go in little spots. It's a blessing and a curse.
