Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This isn't an important aspect of the game and doesn't take away from my rating, as most of the fun comes from the gameplay.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a Bullet Hell genre and can be challenging, even on a normal difficulty for those unfamiliar with this style of combat, but it's also forgiving and a good intro to games of a similar style.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You likely won’t find them all on your first time through but I doubt you’ll mind, as the game’s only about 40 minutes long and the ending features a delightfully open-ended choice that I really haven’t seen the equal of in any other game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are stylized akin to the ZX-Spectrum, and while the screenshots may make it appear to be a bit hard on the eyes, don't worry, it works really well once it's all in motion.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The real draw here is the combat, though, if you can really call it that.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is likewise in an 8-bit style and is a joy to listen to.
