Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is pretty fun, I really enjoyed the right amount of difficulty with bosses and levels themselves, never really felt like it was annoying to go through.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Sure, the game is cute... the ingame graphics are nice quality NES-style with good use of black space... the play control is solid... there's nothing really bad, per se, to say about any of it.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Just like graphics, the audio design is made with that 8-bit limitation in mind and I quite enjoyed it, but it could have been much much better.

Played on Linux Mint 17.3 64 bit, with Nvidia GT 720 graphics and a Logitech F310 controller set to XInput.
