That said, they're used in conjunction with... basically every mechanic under the sun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music, art style, and colors give it a very melancholy feel, which fits the story perfectly.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
the fact it's all hand drawn and of THIS quality for a free game makes it hard to pass up despite that difficulty spike, imo.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Most of the time there's no background music, which amplifies the sharp sound effects.
