Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
What you get is roughly 100 levels with a good ramp-up in difficulty and mechanics, a minimal story very blatantly in service of the puzzling (to the point they break the fourth wall on this repeatedly), and a small cast of fun characters that I genuinely liked.

The music is amazingly crafted with care, and worth buying the soundtrack for.

The characters are fun and funny with dialogs giving an Undertale vibe which feels right at home with the graphics.
