Despite wearing its inspirations on its sleeves, there was a clear effort made in order to make this game distinct; mainly thanks to its amazing art style.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For about $6 USD that I bought this game, I say it's worth the price for the fun that you get out of this game for its charming art style and sound design.
