Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
So after playing for well over 100 hours (Steam has not been able to track all the hours for various reasons) I can honestly say I know this game better than most, and the controls are precise (yet forgiving), boss fights can be a bit on the easy side, music is fantastic,level design works flawlessly with the controls, the characters really draw you in to a brilliant story and there are almost no bugs (believe me, I'd be happy for some!).

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The majority of graphics have a fun, clean, cartoony style that properly evokes the best of slapstick.
