Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
In terms of graphics, the game isn't anything to write home about, but I personally quite liked the simplistic art style.
20 of 143 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The game offers hours of gameplay, and it even received free updates after the release, adding two brand new worlds to the game with a total of twenty-seven levels, making its price tag even more worthwhile.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
You can do this by putting your cape(s) (Later on most of the levels have multiple characters to play with that you can switch on the fly) -- that is one tile or many tiles behind your character -- over a pile of mud or otherwise impassable terrain to create a gap.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
graphics are really cute, knights come in various colors, there are short animations for the characters and plenty of details in the levels, like lilypads, bushes, etc. jazzy music and decent sound effects, separate volume settings, resolution options and windowed mode, even multiple save slots to keep everybody's progress separated.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
controls aren't rebindable, but there are multiple keys for most functions and mouse or controller work as well. movement in four directions with wasd or arrows (azerty keyboards are also supported), switching characters with tab, space or numbers, undo with 'z' or backspace, and reset with 'r' are all you need, plus occasionally rotating the level left and right with q/e or page up/down to get a better angle.
