Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The developers have done an amazing job with this game - there are so many features, and everything from the graphics to the music, and especially the gameplay, makes this such a fun and challenging game to play...extra challenging when you have to pick up a death skull and your ball at the same time, or when you are on level 49 on your last life....

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
You can switch between the modern textures or revert to the original classic textures; however, this does reduce the size of the game board significantly and effectively puts it into a window that's really hard to see unless you decrease the resolution of your monitor to pre-2000 resolutions (e.g. 1024x768 or 800x600).
