What players think
The recurring themes across 92 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
It's about time I mentioned that Pompom is EXTREMELY ambitious: nearly every single level throws a new gameplay mechanic at you that totally resets your mastery of the game back to zero.
With a great art style and music, a nice variety of world themes that aren't all your standard platformer fare, one or more new mechanics introduced in every stage, and some really clever bosses, every new level got me excited.
The story is lighthearted but effective, framing the adventure with emotional clarity and playful energy.
at the end of every zone, the little skits that play out during opening cutscenes, the simple goofiness of some of the spritework, the wonderful, 16 bit soundtrack, are so endearing.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
