Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
the gameplay is simply put amazing. the movement is smooth and there are many unique weapons and skills that can be used in different situations and every level introduces a new mechanic or enemy or teaches you an ability and there are 2 bosses that are perfect in difficulty they arent too hard or too easy.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It's got a very distinctive style, with visuals that remind of games like Undertale and Helltaker but has its own heart put into it, along with an overly goofy story that's stupid in all the right ways.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The developer has their hand out for a $5 USD "donation" for this as you're expected to give them money for soundtrack DLC (that's already in the game) from Steam to "support" the "developer"... digital panhandling.
