Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
49 of 213 sampled reviews raised it
This actually works in the game's favor, though, as the other character's mechanics are a little more interesting.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
32 of 213 sampled reviews raised it
The only thing that really keeps me playing is the amazing visuals and music.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
31 of 213 sampled reviews raised it
The majority consists of typical minimalistic platforming, which from the start establishes the extremely taxing difficulty that only gets harder.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
30 of 213 sampled reviews raised it
The one thing the developer did get right was the soundtrack, which is a beautiful arrangement of instrumental pieces that somewhat makes up for the otherwise underwhelming package, and does a great job matching the tone of the environments.
