What players think
The recurring themes across 106 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Every element—mechanics, level design, visuals, and sound—works in harmony to support a focused and cohesive experience.
Something like ElecHead or Cave Story, where the world is explored in more detail and you adventure within it as a hostile foreigner.
There is a satisfying rhythm to progression, as each level builds on previously learned skills while subtly pushing players to refine their technique.
-David Wise's soundtrack, while cute, ends up coming off a bit mawkish, and does not at all capture the edgy, jazz-fusion spirit of "Gimmick".

Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
