Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack further elevates the experience with emotional and atmospheric compositions that complement both the quiet moments of exploration and the intense concentration required during demanding platforming sequences, giving the world a memorable sense of scale and isolation.

Instead of relying on repetitive level design, every area presents fresh ideas that keep progression interesting from beginning to end.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Love how quickly you get thrown into hard levels once completing the tutorial, the 8bit art style is so cool and the game really makes you think about every action you make to beat it, and the fact they have an achivement for "1000 deaths" shows how hard this game can get.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I first played the demo on Keyboard, but would wholly recommend a controller to make the full use of this mechanic, which even the game pushes you to do during the up/down gravity levels or even when simply attempting to beat the best times.
