Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It's such a simple yet effective and fun gameplay loop.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Remaster itself is pretty decent - game received a new coat of paint, including high-res textures, new UI and 21:9 support (though that last one makes it a bit easier, since you get to see more of the map than just the room you're in).

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
One thing I’ll mention before I get into the good and the bad – I had no idea that the neighbour’s name was Mr Rottweiler, I honestly don’t remember there even being a story on the games when I played as a kid, so I was quite surprised to see the mini cutscene at the beginning and the end to see a small backstory.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
- wish the level select menu was scrollable with a mouse wheel and maybe even had a scroll bar. was somewhat confused at first as to how to scroll it - turns out you can scroll it controller-style, by moving the cursor closer to the top/bottom, or touch-control style, by moving the mouse up-down while left click is pressed.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Well, while it's doesn't matter much in which order you play them, some levels are harder than others and when following the proper ordering the levels typically increase in difficulty, so it would be nice if they were ordered in the level select menu.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The audio design complements this perfectly, with cheerful background music, laugh-track sound effects, and sharp, comedic timing that evokes the feel of a vintage TV sitcom.
