Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The artwork ranges from being really good to being clipart randomly slapped on a dissonant background, so it's hard to throw a blanket over it all, but the look of the store itself is great, customization options are fun, decor is a little one note, and characters are charming and expressive in a cartoonish, low poly way.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
World textures are appealing to the eye and bring that 90’s look to them.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is absolutely zero learning curve—you can just jump right in.
Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The programming is generally sound and I didn't encounter too many glitches or bugs in my 45 hours played, which is pretty good for a programmer who didn't even go to school for programming.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game runs well on the SteamDeck, maintaining the 40FPS that I have as my baseline without me having to tweak any settings.
