Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
108 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The missions, on the other hand, feel far more different from one another, both visually, and gameplay-wise.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
95 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sloppy controls, poorly balanced offensive options, bland house music, but at least there are notably unique visuals.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
70 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The melee is far riskier, but also deals heavy damage, and destroyes shield.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story was pretty straightforward and wacky, but in a good way.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Ballpoint Universe would be a bit on the easy side for shooter fans, but as a shooter-unsavvy gamer, the difficulty was about right for me.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Soundtrack compliments the art style sufficiently - it's sci-fi but fits the doodle world with mixes of heavy overlays to chirpy switch ups.
