There is not much in the way of hand holding in the game as many situations can be passed more easily once the payer understands the ins and outs of the game.

Pros
Pro Easy to learn, hard to master
Controls are simple taps to direct bunny's jumps, but they require a fine deal of precision to make good progress in the game. While this may prove to be frustrating it is also highly rewarding once mastered.
Permanent life upgrades can be found at the end of first 3 areas. These persist through further play-throughs and give a sense of achievement.
Pro Good app controls
Progress can be reset, sounds can be turned off and the game doesn't automatically attempt to connect to google play services.
Pro Polished look, great performance and randomized levels
Bunny to the Moon looks and plays smoothly. Randomized obstacles keep the experience fresh each time.
Pro Free and not an infinite runner
The game is free, has no in app purchases and has only occasional ads in attempts to monetize. Bunny to the Moon also has a clear goal and ending.
Pro Rewarding exploration based gameplay
There is not much in the way of hand holding in the game as many situations can be passed more easily once the payer understands the ins and outs of the game. Things like a green serum not being explained that it helps with a patient bleeding will only be discovered through trial and error, which in the end is rewarding to finally learn all of the mechanics of the game.
Pro Purposefully difficult controls create slapstick humor
In the game the player controls the movements, rotation, raised/lowered stated of the surgeons hand as well as each finger separately. It's purposefully difficult to control the movements of the hand well. The difficulty of controlling actions creates lots of opportunities for slapstick.
Cons
Con Can get frustrating
While lack of accuracy of the controls is the main draw of the game it can at times get unnecessarily frustrating.
