Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
22 of 63 sampled reviews raised it
There is a decent amount of backtracking to do once you get items that let you through different obstacles and barriers, giving a good sense of progression.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
16 of 63 sampled reviews raised it
This was a fun and surprisingly deep GameBoy style Metroidvania with a steep learning curve.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 63 sampled reviews raised it
The presentation is good, simple and clean, and each area of the map has its own palette and visual effects to modify the GameBoy-type graphics.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
9 of 63 sampled reviews raised it
This game is a surprisingly deep and in many ways excellent gameboy-style metroidvania, with cool weapons, lots of levels and secrets.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 63 sampled reviews raised it
Aesthetically its simple design works in its favour: a simple palette change makes quite a different tone and atmosphere for a new area (along with the quirky ost).
