I also really love pixel art, so when a game came along that had fantastic pixel art along with an interesting story and puzzle platformer gameplay, I knew I had to check it out.

While you do all of these, you will be accompanied by great viusals and atmosphere (Oh trust me, pixels or not, the visuals are atonishing).

I've read some complaints about the difficulty of the game but found them to be unfounded, in fact I thought it was pitched at just the right difficulty level.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Despite that however, the game has many praiseworthy aspects, especially it's visual style and soundtrack.
