At first I was a little frustrated/confused by the game. I shot the enemy, I jumped, and found out I couldn't hit some pads because they were simply too far. The floaty controls had me a little frustrated, especially when on restart I'd go flying off a cliff before realizing the game had started. I had noticed the gun had kick, but hadn't put 2 and 2 together to realize that that could boost my trajectory, too.
..Then the game became a blast. Extremely difficult with one life - cool effect that the minions destroy your platform if you stick around too long. The boost and bane effects as you progress made it more interesting/challenging.
Ultimately, great entry and worth checking out - once I got passed the learning curve it became a ton of fun. I didn't make it terribly far (I think I got through 3 bane/boon effects in one session), but it's a great concept and lots of fun.
