Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The pixel art and soundtrack are both good and set a calm and melancholy sort of atmosphere for a story that uses one of the many vague areas of Touhou's canon to good effect.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I will say the art style of the game and boss art was very distinct, and I really did want to see the areas and characters of Mountain of Faith recreated, seeing as it's my favorite Touhou game.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
As far as I know, there was no controller support at all, and I would figure that any sensible platforming action game would have controller support, but that's not the case with this game.
