Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
In terms of my 31 Hours Playthrough of just completing the MAIN STORY (not 100% because i am tired of being an unemployed freak and i am finding job so wish me luck) i like the idea of this concept attaching to POP and it works very well. as we all know POP is always about movement and obstacles which THANKFULLY this game does it very well most of the times at first it will be awkward but once getting the hang of it then it's very satisfying to move and run past obstacles smoothly.

The core gameplay is great, nice use of 2.5D to allow creative platforming and you can use traps and similar to your advantage.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
the maps are very good especially the ART STYLE which also goes why the game storage is very short which is very nice and it runs pretty good especially on my INTEL HD GRAPHICS 620 Laptop it runs around 40 or 30 FPS on a 1360 x 760 resolution which is the lowest possible Resolution to get HD TEXT but yeah it runs very well which it will slow down when so many effects were happening but overall it was very good and fare performance that doesn't keep me out of the game.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
the characters are also very good despite not having any voice acting the characters have their own charm and personality on it especially PRINCE having it's own charming attitude and then growing MATURE is like The Two Thrones but without inner conflict. btw it's so funny that My sister's name is in the game and it's one of the character's name that is PRINCE brother SHAHIN like i laughed so hard that i took pictures and i am going to send it to my sister LOL.

Runs great on the Steam Deck (although some UI is stuttery).
