Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game starts off looking like it's going to build a quirky, surreal story but towards the end the story becomes relatively serious, and the game actually develops a plot even though there was barely any build up or progression to it.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Has a surprising amount of replayability due to various techniques that allow you to go fast while not taking damage and do strong combos on bosses even in middle of their attacks.

Graphics

The music was pretty awesome, the graphics were nicely detailed, and the gameplay was interesting.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
The combat feels very good, however the telegraphs for enemies attacking are not very tight.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
the game is short and you can finish in 8 minutes but the first time I played it took 16 minutes. has a well-developed dynamic. the story is there but you won't care since you'll just want to test your skill and beat the next boss and that's what matters here. the graphics are simple. basically a bullet storm but it could have become something much bigger with more levels, an upgrade system and better maps. the soundtrack is good. the game is accessible and fun. in the end that's what
