Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Misc. is unabashedly inspired by the likes of Chibi-Robo both aesthetically and thematically, but the core gameplay is more like an N64-era collectathon platformer.

There was also a great deal of detail put into the sound and music design.
8 of 117 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics are okay - cute character models and nice, creative environments, but there’s nothing particularly beautiful.
7 of 117 sampled reviews raised it
Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
Consider turning off your camera's Auto Rotate option in the Accessibility menu (provided you don't need it for accessibility reasons) so you're not fighting against the camera while you play.
