Second, i really love the gameplay, there are lots of weapons, power-ups and pets that give you a hand in various ways, the levels are beautifully crafted (visually), effects are cool, music is very delightful.

The game recommends using a controller, but I found the keyboard and mouse controls to be preferable, although both definitely felt fine.
