Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
19 of 110 sampled reviews raised it
I really enjoy this progression in difficulty with a relatively constant level to really hone that familiarity of the level layout for the player.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
17 of 110 sampled reviews raised it
The progressive difficulty of each level set makes it reasonable to play and challenge yourself, and then when you feel that you have had enough of that level, you can just move on using the "Give Up" function.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
10 of 110 sampled reviews raised it
Throw in some visuals that are decent for a former flash game and a better-than-expected OST and you've got a fine package to waste a week or so bashing your head against.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 110 sampled reviews raised it
The additional witty voice-acting, really well-done and cute artwork, plus the unlockable playable outfits/skins are just nice things to include, but do not really affect the gameplay at all.
