I haven't beat the game yet or got far enough to really give a full complete detail of it, but it's cute, seem's somewhat interesting, the story doesn't feel too bland or rushed.

On the other hand, backgrounds look more realistic with their textures and shadows.

The soundtrack is really good though, and is probably the main reason I stuck with the game - it was clear from the start that there was talent involved in the project, even if not every element of the game was well-rounded.
Controls
