Spite it being pretty bad unpolished game and that is being left in this unfinished state now, where will never know how this fun and charming story with pretty fun minigames to boot will end.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
My absolute favorite parts are the closing of each chapter, which has you go through a gauntlet of microgames with limited lived in classic WarioWare fashion and serves as a really fun outro to the gameplay style you've been using in that chapter.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Higher = Great audio also to make it clear its the just the sound design overall but not inclining any music or atmospheric tracks.
