I was initially interested in the gameplay and story, both of which slowly fall apart.
70 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The early gameplay is enjoyable enough, but later sections abandon the casual puzzle elements to push timed and precision platforming.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The cartoony graphics are great, and all the different blocks and terrains you will be exploring are interesting.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
