The graphics are beyond smooth, there is paralax scrolling we'd never have seen on say the Master System games that obviously inspired it (as well as PC Engine even) the animation is nice, the music is great.

The way its story is presented, its beautiful pixel art, and its decent soundtrack give the feeling of a retro game perfectly.
