Gameplay

This goes without saying but the music, a major boon and pivotal component of the gameplay, is completely stellar.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's executed perfectly and there are 3 difficulty options you can start out with for each level, with online leaderboards for scoring and rewards to create your own challenges if you choose (these are optional and not required to get).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visuals are top-notch, the art style is really pleasing and in a sense idyllic.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The levels are laid out in such a way that each jump, kick, bounce and deflection adds a complementary tune to the soundtrack, and it makes you feel like the songs are not just background audio but a real part of the experience.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I highly recommend it for anyone who likes a little story mixed with twitch-based beats and obstacle challenges.
