Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Even if Parallax doesn't break any new grounds in the audiovisual department, its simple yet futuristic looking monochromatic art style along with electronic beats lend themselves well to the game creating a pleasant overall experience.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The game's price is perfect for its length of 4 chapters with 8 levels each and it still has a lot of replayability to offer after completion.
