Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Like Dreamer's gameplay is the easiest positive to get out of the way; for here we are blessed with a pristine example of a match made in heaven.
12 of 89 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Granted regarding the visuals: visibility of bullets, enemies etc. is good and the game has a level of visual clarity that isn't too common in doujin or arcade shmups, further lending to it being comfortable to pick up and play.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Has a surprisingly strong soundtrack using royalty free materials.
9 of 89 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It's enjoyable, the dialogue and characters are fun, music is good, and most important (to me) it's -not- super difficult to tell the bullets apart from the items and the background (looks at YOU Hidden Star in Four Seasons.)
4 of 89 sampled reviews raised it
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
With the small hitboxes and long deathbomb timing, a player who's already got a solid grasp on things like streaming/restreaming and resource management can really get away with some risky plays you don't normally see in other shmups.
