Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I quite liked the A/V, liked that a controller worked well, liked that all achievements function as intended, and liked the arcade-y gameplay for what it is.

Graphics

Coupled with a vibrant pixel art style and pleasant tunes, Mekabolt is a solid puzzle platformer that can provide a good hour or two of basic fun.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
With only a few gates/bots per level, it's hard to distinguish the "tutorial" levels that introduce a new(-ish) mechanic from the "OK, for reals, now" levels that are intended to offer a challenge -- and increasingly as the game goes on, the main challenge comes from arcade-y stuff like carefully timing and positioning your jumps.
