The graphics are great with a nice nighttime atmosphere, the controls are fluid and respond well, frame rate is smooth and fluid (using a Windows 10 Acer) and the puzzles are quite a bit challenging and may leave you wracking your brain for some time.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
In all, this game has both a lot currently going for it and a lot of potential, and with fun level designs, good puzzling aspects, great visuals, good sound design, and clearly a lot of love poured into it, I think that with a little more polish, this game could be easily make Bad Seahorse decent money.
