Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It’s a game that thrives on speed, movement, and stylish combat, wrapped in a bold pixel-art aesthetic and supercharged by a pulsing soundtrack composed by Tee Lopes, best known for his work on Sonic Mania.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
With how fast and frenetic the gameplay was, a good chunk were a bit too easily cheesed by Ice Kunai or Mine Buster spam.

I'm satisfied with the graphics so this is technically a positive.
