Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The art style rocks, the character models are precious, the decor for both the cafe and another unlockable area are so fun, the puzzle room designs are vibrant and engaging without giving you a bunch of empty space to get lost, the different areas on the map are thematic and unique.

The puzzles when entering portals slowly increases in difficulty, enjoyed that thoroughly, but it's the ONLY game mechanic that's good about the game.
