Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
23 of 62 sampled reviews raised it
The puzzles were only mildly taxing, and each stage has a fresh game mechanic to introduce variety to the gameplay (but without overloading the player).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
18 of 62 sampled reviews raised it
The puzzles are nice, the graphics (especially in later stages) are gorgeous, the music is fantastic, it supports a FOSS platform (Linux), a cute story which (if you are in to such thing) can get you hooked quite quick.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 62 sampled reviews raised it
The minimal soundtrack is beautiful and the visuals are bright and colourful.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 62 sampled reviews raised it
The game also uses its own unique sound effects package, so every sound was created especially for this game; unlike many other platformers on Steam.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
10 of 62 sampled reviews raised it
The game's design is excellent – the difficulty and learning curve are perfectly managed so that puzzles and situations are challenging without ever feeling unfair, allowing the player to garner what they need to know from playing the game rather than anything ever being hinted to them, be it a tricksome puzzle or an intimidating enemy.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
8 of 62 sampled reviews raised it
Nice looking and thematically distinct levels, the main character is cute and is decently animated, though I feel like maybe there could have been a few more animations, like an idle or such.
