Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The story of this game is amazing, along with the art that accompanies it (the platforms are underwhelming compared to the other art though).

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
"Equinox" is a very mediocre 2D retro platformer with a simple narrative, some nice backgrounds, and pretty awful gameplay and technical implementation.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The visuals were beautiful, so was the music but I don't understand what the gameplay had to do with the story at all (except for the constellation ''bossfights'').

Audio

The sound design definitely needs some work, but it's not awful.
