Co-Op - I had to add this as a portion to the review because this is truly what sold me on this game.
110 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
If you haven't read the description of the game on the store and/or looked at some of the pictures and trailers, I would encourage you to do so because you can see first hand a lot of the characteristics and art style of the game.

Almost all of the bosses are well-designed, creative, challenging, and very memorable, with good sound design and music to go along with them.

I wasn’t expecting much from yet another 2d top down indie game, but am pleasantly surprised that the gameplay is fast and addictive.

It's also quite challenging, but not in a frustrating 'throw-my-controller-across-the-room' kind of way.
