Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
There's a bit of story as well, and it's kinda heartwarming and humorous and I was actually way more invested than I expected.

Difficulty

Instead of relying on excessive difficulty, the game focuses on fair challenges that reward learning enemy behavior and making smart use of newly acquired abilities.

The chiptune soundtrack complements the retro aesthetic perfectly, delivering energetic melodies that enhance exploration and action while reinforcing the game's old-school personality.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The cute retro graphics are not just a style, it really reminds me of great games of gameboy color era, not too ambitious, but a fun ride right from the batch.

Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
Techwise it ran perfectly on Linux, and would be a good SteamDeck game due to the low system usage and perfect compatibility.
