Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Dreamstones is an interesting take on the genre of brick-breaking games, combining both the "usual Arkanoid gameplay" with RPG elements, that is well done in some ways but also sadly has a considerable number of issues, mainly regarding level design and game design.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It is a unique cartoonish brick busting RPG with city builder elements and a lighthearted text narrative driven story, which I completed in ~20 hours.

Graphics

The soundtrack is also well done (albeit a bit repetitive) and the game's graphics are very well done.
