Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay and controls are easy to understand, but the stages make very good use of them and the game never gets stale.

If you're like me and are interested in this game because you played The Liar Princess and The Blind Prince and noticed the similar art style (they're made by the same developer), get this game.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The game is a puzzle platformer at its core, with some of it harkening to things like Braid or Limbo but, personally, the sheer elegance and cuteness of everything in place (including pretty disheartening cutscenes made in paper-cut fairy tale book style) put it above, backed up by an excellent, moody and heavily ambient soundtrack which you can thankfully also take with you if you get the OST separately.
