Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Visuals: they're gorgeous and very charming, I love the way the bullets and attacks look, they really pop out but not obnoxiously, like, you can tell they're glowy and stuff, and I think it's really helped by the somewhat dark atmosphere of the levels.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Like I said, this game has HUGE potential to be a equivalent of The Binding of Isaac for Touhou fans, the design, music and atmosphere is perfect, the devs just need to improve with time and lsiten to the community requests

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Gameplay (again): It's very smooth and I did not encounter a single bug or anything while playing, though the aim can be a little hard to get used to on controller, I imagine it's easier with a mouse.
