Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Nowhere Patrol, developed and published by Slugsoft, is a focused action-platformer that takes inspiration from classic arcade design and combines it with the intensity of modern bullet-hell gameplay.
20 of 190 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Clever and creative bosses, nice graphics, an okay (but admittedly not amazing, probably would benefit from more songs) soundtrack, and mechanics that hold a lot of potential replay value.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
The game embraces challenge without becoming unnecessarily punishing, thanks in part to its quick restart system that keeps the action moving.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Rather than building a lengthy adventure filled with exploration and story-heavy sequences, the game centers almost entirely on a series of challenging boss encounters.
