The interplay between simple mechanics and complex outcomes makes it easy to pick up but difficult to master.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
25 of 288 sampled reviews raised it
With beautiful graphics, great physics engine and very well designed levels it keeps itself fresh and fun to say the least.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
13 of 288 sampled reviews raised it
The entire story is coherent, meaning you start out as coffee and by the end you're somehow playing as nuclear waste.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 288 sampled reviews raised it
While on the environment, there is an electroacoustic music accompanying us in the perillous journey of the liquids, sometimes calm, sometimes dynamic, and I've found the soundtrack quite enjoyable overall (and I'm glad the devs made it available in a dlc, best to be bought during Steam sales).
