Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Some levels also were quite a bit too similar to eachother and they re-used the same assets a lot, making the game a bit too visually boring for my liking, though other than that the artstyle and the graphics were great to look at.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Also worth mentioning: the graphics and sound design are pretty good but lack a little variety.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
The up-shot to all this is that the game runs like a dream, and plays especially well with a controller.
