Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
163 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is interesting and the mechanics are fun and easy to grasp. 8 fairly short levels in each of 5 areas, with a new color/ability found in each area.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
131 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game mechanics for the puzzles were fun - but they clashed with the way side-scrolling was implemented by sliding in/out each background/scene instead of a single continuous level.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style used for the characters and environment is very dinstinct, and pleasing to the eye.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects, music and graphios are great, and the game runs fine on old computers (Intel HD 3000 grraphics for me, at the moment).
