Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The diversity hire "characters" are lawful good stereotypes, the bad guy literally doesn't even have a face, there is no story except for "good guys defeat bad guy" yadda yadda more banal and stereotypical than 99% of American TV shows and movies in this century (all of that coincidentally is also true for Super Meat Boy).

I like to say the gameplay is like Celeste, but you punch robots.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
As far as visuals go, I'd say it's among one of the best looking freeware (NOT freemium) games.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack ranges from soothing to OH MY GOD HOLY S#&@ AMAZING 10/10 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Your game has achievements that cannot be reasonably be beaten in 50 to 100 max % of the time it took me to complete the story mode, it's a thumb down – UNLESS it's a game I actually enjoy, or the additional length is just a matter of content, not difficulty or lack of guides (at age 37 I'm way beyond figuring out games by myself like I used to do 20 or even 30 years ago).

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Very fun platforming game, and despite having a simple control scheme that could fit on an NES controller (which I chose to do), new mechanics are constantly being introduced, maintiaining a fair difficulty curve the whole time.
