Hee hee hee. This is so cute/charming/whimsical.

Suggestion: The more difficult the game mode, the more tokens awarded per jumped rope.
Crash: When unlocking Bard, the game crashes on my Playdate (OS 2.7.2).
I just found the cause of the crash, thanks for pointing it out. A patch will be live shortly!
And that's a good idea with the increased tokens for the harder games. Gives more incentive to play the tougher challenges
