Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What this game lacks in momentum and complex maneuvering-tech in comparison to Celeste, it more than makes up for in how creatively it uses traps, enemies and mechanics.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The more you get into the game, namely if you tap into all the game has to offer, it employs a lot of difficulty that just feels C H E A P.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Additionally, the story is just the right balance of serious and silly to the point where the more important story beats aren't out of place.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game features a bright, quirky art style, which lends itself well to the game's absurdist and, at times, somewhat random comedy.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A blast start to finish, with replayability in the form of its accessibility settings (which can be used to make the game easier and harder, and co-op!
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is surprisingly tonally varied, and the world map's interconnectivity and secrets are one of the best I've ever seen in a 2D platformer.
