Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Visuals stand out despite lacking in fancy effects and generally being very simple on a technical level, and I also enjoyed the music although it does end up getting repetitive after a while due to the low amount of tracks.
