Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's got just enough charm to be endearing, the gameplay loop is as satisfying and addictive as these kinds of games get, and then right as it hits its peak, you're kindly let off at the station before it consumes your entire life or overstays its welcome.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like the acsension system, it felt needed at the start but too easy to mitigate mid to late game. the length of the game is perfect, if it were any longer the play style would get way too repetitive. 100% in just under 6 hours.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
non stop action, fair progression, great relaxing music, fantastic fun visuals and non-stop action that never slows down or gets boring, this is a fantastic example of how an incremental should be done!
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really liked the sound effects, and the progression moves quickly enough to keep things satisfying without feeling like a grind.
