Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Listen, it needs work, the balance is incredibly off, the difficulty is very inconsistent, and there are bugs, but there's something beneath everything that's unique, fun, and it brings me back again and again with a colorful cast of really cool characters and graphics/music.

Spritework and artstyle are very appealing from the character/enemy designs to the backgrounds; sound design is incredibly charming,
