Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
story mode seems promising so far even though it's very short, the bonus level is the best one so far IMO, i really like that there's an in game level browser but i do wish the download icon didnt block the image cover of the level to know how it looks like, also optimization should be addressed on those online levels as some levels take really long to load. for story mode i wish there was some kind of transition to the next level (iirc just shapes and beats had this where there was a map inbetween each level) just so it feels like you're progressing through the game, otherwise it kinda feels like you're just playing mindlessly. this might be nitpicky but the menu seems very cluttered?

✅ Infinite replayability (You can keep on coming back and play any new level that the community puts out there every day!)

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
✅ Graphics don't matter in this game/depends (It's really up to the creator of the levels on if it looks absolutely amazing or if it looks absolutely trash.

I don't want to waste a bunch of time scrolling through steam workshop looking for fun levels that also fit my difficulty level.

But besides that, the menu and editor looks clean and does what it sets out to be.)
