To begin with, this game is unlikely to sell many copies.  It is a strange mix of childrens graphics with difficult gameplay.  The game is so difficult that single player mode is almost impossible and very frustrating.  Your fingers get tied up.  2 player is a far more pleasent experience (although it too can be slightly jarring since you are solving puzzles while constrained for time). The control and graphics are both quite good - which are the two most important game metrics for me.
Finally, there is really nothing else out there like this game.  Sure you could have DOA: Hardcore or Rayman:Revolution - both of which are excellent games - but realistically purchasing this game lets publishers know that there is a market for highly original concepts.  Plus it is just fun to play.  If you liked Samba De Amigo, Worms, MTV music Generator, Incredible Crisis, or any other genre bending, low selling games... add this to the collection.  It is a keeper.
