Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
You can see that because of the countless details woven into the levels (references, easter eggs), the hand-written lines and voice acting for the important characters.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Once you enter the game proper, it offers you a brief tutorial level that allows for a couple of jokes and provides instruction in the game's basic controls and gameplay rules; for anyone familiar with the genre, there's not much to surprise you here.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics have a good feel to them, consistent with the title screen image, though the levels do feel a little bit 'samey' after a while; some different textures and assets wouldn't go amiss, though I should say that the current presentation does provide a consistent portrayal of the Galactoil ship.
