Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
30 of 206 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are stylish and gritty, and the whole immersive atmosphere of an alien invasion is probably the best part of the game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
23 of 206 sampled reviews raised it
While simple in concept, there's a surprising amount of gameplay for the game, as well as strategies (for instance hitting a box may be helpful if you're moving too fast, but then you might not have enough speed to make a jump).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 206 sampled reviews raised it
It’s like the soundtrack to your frenetic, pixelated escape from imminent doom.
