Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics may get a good rating even when it's old-school/pixel art.
21 of 117 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
What would've been smart is maybe a feature in the original where if you completed the game, you'd unlock the reskin in the settings menu.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It only includes the first 2 chapters of Doodle God rather than the 4 total that it's supposed to have, it also excludes many of the features that the steam version of Doodle God has like the elements appearing on the planet, Quests, Artefacts, Puzzles, Tournament and Leaderboards.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
From the moment the game loads, the charm of the 8-bit aesthetic becomes immediately apparent: chunky pixel icons, simplified animations, and a chiptune soundtrack that feels like it wandered in from the late NES era.
