I also really enjoy the way a lot of the mechanics are made to fit into being a game like the move tool for characters/games being the arrow-y vines and how some of the characters are also part of this.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 39 sampled reviews raised it
Making the characters kiss each other on the cheek, the noises and sound effects are easily just adorable and made my brain happy, and generally it's just a cute lil decoratin' game that I quite enjoyed!
