Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I was really excited when I first saw the store page of "Catch a Falling Star", because it seemed to be exactly my kind of game: cute and colorful graphics that can cheer you up after a long day at work, relaxed gameplay.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The gentle soundtrack and colorful presentation enhance its suitability as a background-friendly game that does not demand intense concentration.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
*My reviews do consider the significance of gameplay, story, music, etc. before I assign a score (e.g. walking simulators don't have much emphasis on gameplay, but I wouldn't let that reflect negatively on the individual game being reviewed).

Oh, by the way it can also be played with a controller, it fully supports the XBOX one for instance but to me it's perfect on WASD keys, you'll need only the movement ones and enter (or A with the controller) in order to activate the bonuses, and if you're a right-handed who plays with the left hand like me trust me, it's perfect and not damaging at all :)
