Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Cursed Crackers is a fun small(at first) platformer with a colorful cast of interesting characters that... hmmm..., well I like them.
164 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay/Mechanics - The meat of the game and probably why most people are playing it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
They're not very challenging, some don't have sound effects for their moves, and it feels like it's lacking "punch".
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The game is great with it's presentation but only if you like pixel or 'old school' graphics.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
There are some minute issues, such as input errors due to your two (radically different) special jumps being a down and down-forward input respectively, and some weird hitboxes that don't make a ton of sense.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
There is so much more as well - NPCs fill the city and extra areas you can find around the world, side quests that let you get to know a little bit more about the NPCs, unlockable feats that reward the player with new main menu art AND additional color palettes, a game corner, and more!
