The soundtrack adds energy and tension to the platforming without becoming repetitive, and while voice acting and humor are present, they lean toward light and playful rather than being central to the experience.

Sunblaze shines due to it's snappy controls, overall accessibility, strong focus on challenging but engaging platforming sections, and the charm of the characters.
