There are also some twists in the core mechanics here and there for a neat surprise.

38 of 248 sampled reviews raised it
It's full of personality, the characters are adorable and hillarious in turn, and the soundtrack would be amazing even on its own.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
30 of 248 sampled reviews raised it
It's got a goofy aesthetic, moderately challenging gameplay, and a fun story told without much direct exposition, which is the best way to tell a story in my opinion.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
27 of 248 sampled reviews raised it
The main game is quite short, but there's plenty of replayability if you want to gun for challenges or high scores - which also adds to the good feel of the difficulty curve.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 248 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is simple, cute and effective, and the game's writing has some nice humour, as you might expect from Matthew Taranto - make sure to chat to Etude whenever you get the chance :).
