Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
One thing that was really interesting for me is that the side-scrolling is done via the older flip-screen room to room graphics transition, which means when you reach the end/exit of your current room the screen will flip to the next one, and still has the environmental hazards active in the adjacent screens/rooms.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The atmosphere in the game screams about the 80's music and movie inspiration, while the gameplay is staple of the early 90's action games.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack is equally nostalgic, composed of chiptune-inspired tracks that keep pace with the action.
