Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That's pretty much all there is to the gameplay in terms of replayability and fun.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Unlike the music, the sound design is intentionally not made chiptune, and it suddenly invokes a kinaesthetic sense in your interactions with the items.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is adorable, but sometimes the items were so distorted by the pixelization that I had no idea what I was holding or where it was supposed to go.
