13 of 64 sampled reviews raised it
Goodboy Galaxy brings a refreshing twist to the collectathon platformer genre, weaving together clever mechanics, beautiful visuals, and a surprising amount of depth for such a compact game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 64 sampled reviews raised it
Don't even get me started on visuals- the animation, the backgrounds and FX are some of the best pixel art you will ever see and the colours are deeeeeelicious!
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
6 of 64 sampled reviews raised it
This is a simple but extremely tight metroidvania platformer that has nice story with beautiful artwork inline with old school handhelds (because it is a port from the game boy advance).
